Description

This concise yet comprehensive book provides a positive, lively, future-oriented narrative introduction to American government and politics. We the People presents material with a currency and relevancy that captures the vivid world of real-life politics. In addition, the text challenges readers to think critically; by giving contextual understanding of major concepts and issues, it encourages them to think about the implications for society and themselves. We the People delves deeper into the basics than most brief books, and each of the 17 chapters (including 3 policy chapters) concludes with a reading selection (each from a different paper around the country) and an extensive bibliography. The seventh edition has been thoroughly updated to capture recent developments, including the 2006 elections.

Easy Read... Dec 30, 2009 By Andrew A. Payton
I am using this book for my political science course in college. It has not only explained things clearly, but it is extremely easy to read and understand. I knew a lot about politics before and after reading this book, I gained more knowledge and it will be used in daily life.

Great, easy to understand book May 04, 2010 By S. W. Leary "Ghost Girlie"
This is a great book. I read it for my Pol 120 class in college and I was really impressed at how well it catagorized components. The Chapters were laid out logically with lots of visuals and examples. If you have to read a text the US Government, you should hope that it is this one.

Informative government book, w/out skimping Oct 09, 2008 By A. Calph "A&J's momma"
I liked this book. I didn't end up finishing it because I dropped the class, but as far as government books go - this is a keeper. It wasn't condescending or written without the 'bad' parts in our government. It was objective and a good read. Usually textbooks put me to sleep - this one did not.

Great Book! Great Price! Jan 22, 2012 By CCVetta
I ordered this book for a class that I am taking this semester at college. I was pleasantly surprised to find one for such an incredibly low price. Plus, since I am an Amazon Prime member, I got free 2 day shipping. The book was also in incredible shape for the price. What a deal!! Thank you, Amazon, once again, for such an easy online purchase. I will be an Amazon customer for life!!

Good Book for Politics Sep 20, 2011 By Angie Perez "Mislittleme"
This is not the easiest book to read, but it's a lot more interesting than most politics books. I usually have a hard time reading for long periods of time, but I read this book because it provides many up to date real world examples for the terminology it uses.
