America's New Democracy, Election Update with LP.com Version 2.0

by Morris P. Fiorina, Paul E. Peterson, D. Stephen Voss

The new edition of this highly affordable Penguin Academic Series book provides an engaging, analytical, and completely up-to-date introduction to American government and politics.

Written in a strong narrative voice and brimming with student-relevant examples, America’s New Democracy provides a focused and stimulating treatment of politics in the United States. Illustrating popular influence across the political system in defense of a central theme—-that elections matter more in America’s political system today than they have in the past or do in other democracies-—the book challenges the pessimistic view that government seldom listens to ordinary people. America’s New Democracy encourages readers to see that in a system where votes are the main currency, both power and responsibility rest on the shoulders of all citizens.

Not bad for a textbook. The writing was pretty easy to follow and it wasn't too boring. It was fairly informative.
