What Is a Government? Book

It's your basic textbook. It's neither bad nor great. Its text is both interesting and boring. It has the ability to make politics - my favorite subject- boring and even more fascinating all at the same time.

Government in America: People, Politics, and Policy could be better if the authors were a little less condescending and talked to their readers like they were having a conversation. But it's certainly not the worst textbook I've ever read, and I appreciated how often graphics, colored text boxes, and memory-jogging photographs were used.
