America at Odds: The Essentials With Infotrac

by Beth Henschen, Edward I. Sidlow

Known for its provocative and engaging issues approach and topical organization, AMERICA AT ODDS explores the current conflicts that truly define America as a nation while involving students in discussion and debate. The engaging content and pedagogical features throughout AMERICA AT ODDS support two main goals of the text: to make students genuinely passionate about learning the ins and outs of American politics and government, and to encourage them to think about the ways their lives are affected by decisions made in the political arena. In every chapter of the text, the foundations and systems of political history, behavior, institutions, and policy are presented within the framework of issues oriented debate, making AMERICA AT ODDS truly unique as an approach to teaching the Introduction to American Government course.

This is a book that I read for my online College Government class. It did a really great job of explaining how government works, the people that run the government, but most of all, I learned that I am the key to a good government. The people are what make up a government.

A typical (but bearable) American government textbook.
