Must read!

This is a great book that explores the founding principles of our nation and the inner workings of government on a basic level. It is written in a simple way that makes it very easy to read and yet its depth and substance is solid! I really am enjoying this book and doubt I will sell it after the semester ends. I highly recommend it for anyone who desires to learn the most important aspects of government. I thought I knew "everything" based on what people had told me until I read this book. It provides an appropriate general perspective that has allowed me to form my own opinions and ideas about politics and leadership. Liberty is at its core. Thanks Professor Schott for using this textbook.

Excellent service!

Poli-Sci

I found this book easy to read and understand. It's a refreshing look at the past and notes important specifics in history. "Cuts to the chase." This book is well organized and easy to navigate.

American Government

A trully remarkable text book! This text strives where many fail, in communicating with students from AP level high school to Doctoral studies. Includded are full color diagrams on the political process, governmental structure dating back to the 1600s. Also, philisophical viewpoints from Plato to John Locke. The benefit of the text, is its current up-to-date information on the 'insides' of political views and parties. This text would assist anyone in learning about our nations history and government.
