American Government

by Alan R. Gitelson, Robert Dudley, Melvin J. Dubnick

Distinguished by its myth vs. reality framework American Government encourages students to address their preconceptions about government and think critically about the US political system. The Seventh Edition focuses on changing perceptions of American government, while providing coverage on the media, public opinion, the Supreme Court, and domestic and international policy. Chapter 14, Domestic Policy and Policymaking, includes discussions of education and environmental policies, as well as economic and social welfare issues; and Chapter 15, Foreign and Defense Policy, reflects changes since the start of the "War on Terrorism."

American Government class. The book was a bit cheesy (just look at the cover for proof), but it had some good information.
