Got this for a college course

So I really ordered this book as part of a college course. However, this book is easy to read and is not incredibly boring, as some government textbooks go. The book has a good online website with interactive "Analyzing the Evidence" exercises, which were fun and easy to use. As textbooks go, this one is pretty good. I would recommend it.
