Essentials of American Government: Continuity and Change

by Karen O'Connor, Larry J. Sabato

The Essentials edition of the number one book in American government continues to provide the most current and engaging introduction available for the course and contains an entire unit devoted to Texas government and politics. Like the comprehensive edition, this nuts-and-bolts version was written with the belief that knowledge of the development of American government is integral to fully understand our current political system. Essentials of American Continuity and Change is a student-friendly text offering a strong historical perspective that highlights the evolution of government and engages students with examples relevant to their lives.

I was disappointed since this was used for a graduate level class. It would be good (or even great) for undergrad or even high school, but not in grad school.

The pain, the agony, the waste of tuition money that could have gone towards a class that isn't a repeat of what I had to take in 1990! Great for practicing walking with poise, since if it falls off of your head, it won't break anything other than maybe your nose.
