Down and dirty local and state government reading

This book was easy to follow. I was not intimidated by the size of the book. I felt the book was up to date and not meant to be an all inclusive history book about government. I bought this book for a Political Science course, but many people at work want to read this book once the class is over.

Not bad, actually

Had to get this for a 1 unit college course. Turned out to be an interesting read. I lent it to my brother, because I felt that after reading it, I understood a whole lot more about how my state functions.

good deal

Just like it has said: not many highlighting, very good condition. The book arrived fast too.

Excellent, Factual, and Detailed

This is a well-presented, comprehensive account of California government. I use the latest edition of the book in my American Politics class. This book has a wealth of details that are relevant in our politics and society, as well as easy to find and understand. Have you ever wanted to know exactly how many state-wide officials are elected in California and who they are? You will find the answer in this book. What is the structure of the judiciary and how has it been reformed since 1998, when the voters passed the initiative that streamlined the system? The answer is here. I like this book and recommend it to undergraduate students who study California politics and professors who teach the subject on the undegraduate level. By the way, I mean "students" in the most general sense. Even if you are not in college but want to really know more about California politics rather than read a bombastic, sensationalist account of current events, pick up this book.
