Government in America: People, Politics, and Policy (13th Edition)

2 reviews
George C. Edwards, Martin P. Wattenberg, ...

Longman, 2007

Perfect Classroom Supplement
The instructor of this book lent me this book for a short while, and I read it 'til dawn. Unlike other social sciences textbooks, this book is written in engaging prose that both keeps the attention of the student without diluting the topic with unnecessary simplification. The authors add an interesting perspective on the principles of modern government and its relationship with the American ...

2 reviews
Don Corace

Harper Paperbacks, 2008

A WAKE UP CALL FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS
Using real life examples, Don Corace reveals how ordinary Americans are being terrorized, robbed, and in some cases even forced into bankruptcy by government officials and judges who have lost all respect for the ideals of freedom envisioned by America's Founding Fathers. Corace provides an easy-to-read overview of the legal cases and political influences which have fostered the dramatic ...

The Social Transformation of American Medicine

11 reviews
Paul Starr

Basic Books, 1984

Great history of American medicine
For anyone interested in the healthcare as a profession or area of study, I can't recommend this book highly enough. Despite the 20 years since its publication, Paul Starr's Pulitzer prize winner is still relevant today and in retrospect his projections made of the future of healthcare in America are surpisingly prescient. The first book describes the development of the medical profession in ...

"THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO OF THE 21ST CENTURY!"
"THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO OF THE 21ST CENTURY!" This is truly the, "COMMUNIST MANIFESTO OF THE 21ST CENTURY!" As a Libertarian I see this for what it is. It is a guide book for every Stalinist Elitist Liberal which tells them how to deceive the people to gain power. And silence all opposition. And once they have gained the power do what they want to force the failure that is Communism on the ...

Screwed: The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class - And What We Can Do about It (BK Currents (Paperback))

73 reviews
Thom Hartmann

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2007

Corporatocracy:What it is and How We Got it.
"Screwed:the Undeclared War Against the Middle Class" is the best book that I have read on American government and economics. It's easily understood and has good lessons from American political history. The author opens with a compelling example of an employee being exposed to asbestos and suffering for it while the company profited from his labor. That employee was Hartmann's father. Thom ...

The Challenge Of Democracy: Brief Edition
Kenneth Janda, Jeffrey M. Berry, ...

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2006

Based on the best-selling, full-length text The Challenge of Democracy, Eighth Edition, this brief version maintains the same framework and motifs in a shorter format. The pedagogy is linked to two main themes: the conflicting values of freedom, order, and equality, and the majoritarianism versus pluralism debate. In addition, a focus on globalization and its implications helps students put American government in a broader context. An ...

American Government (Cliffs Quick Review)

10 reviews
Paul Soifer, Abraham Hoffman, ...

Cliffs Notes, 2001

It works!
I studied the Cliff Notes American Government book and Microsoft Encarta for 2 weeks and got a 68 on the CLEP. This book has got it all covered for you. That's not to say that all you need to do is read through this book once. American Government is a harder-than-average CLEP (most people score 5-15 points below their usual score with the same amount/intensity of study). The main difficulty ...

The Uprising: An Unauthorized Tour of the Populist Revolt Scaring Wall Street and Washington

11 reviews
David Sirota

Crown, 2008

Excellent Read
You will learn something new from reading this book. David Sirota provides first hand accounts of populist movements around the US. I learned about the Working Family Party in New York and fusion. I also got a new perspective on Washington driven faux uprisings vs. real uprisings. The book has a great mix of personal story and the uprising description. It has a good flow to it and is ...

Government By the People, National Version (22nd Edition) (MyPoliSciLab Series)

5 reviews
David B. Magleby, David M. O'Brien, ...

Prentice Hall, 2007

Great Intro to American Politics Textbook
Excellent intro to politics text. I highly recommend it for a classroom or for anyone really who wants to sit down with a plain-spoken piece to get you to understand our government. Whether it is for someone with little knowledge as to who this vast bureaucracy works, or for someone with a fairly good knowledge of it all - I don't think it will disappoint. I think what I appreciated the most was ...

New American Democracy, The (5th Edition) (MyPoliSciLab Series)

1 review
Morris P. Fiorina, Paul E. Peterson, ...

Longman, 2006

interesting sidebars
The book covers both history and the current political framework of the US. The history is covered briefly in the early chapters. In enough detail to explain key ideas and debates that shaped the nation. Federalism especially. We see how the early United States cobbled together an initially fragile federal government, that gained strength with the passing decades. Enough to prevail in the Civil ...

2 reviews
Drew Westen

PublicAffairs, 2008

Democratic strategists please read this book
As a frustrated Democrat who is tired of seeing his party cede important cultural territory, I devoured this book. The Political Brain is perhaps the best book I have read on crafting a party message that resonates with the American public. Drew Westin offers helpful advice to Democrats by showing them how to frame an emotionally compelling and principled stance on the issues that Republicans ...

American Government: Power and Purpose, Tenth Full Edition

W. W. Norton, 2007

American Government does more than any other text to get students to think analytically about American politics and government. The successful Five Principles of Politics framework integrated throughout the full and core versions helps students make sense of the material they encounter in the course, and the political information they encounter in their daily lives. In this Tenth Edition, new "Analyzing the Evidence" units in each chapter use ...

61 reviews
Benson Deng, Alephonsian Deng, ...

PublicAffairs, 2006

Written from the heart.
My favorite little independent bookshop, Latitude 33, recommended I read this when they found out I was interested in African Affairs. Melanie, the manager, said that she and several of her book club customers read the book and loved it. That was encourgement enough for me. I was completely caught off guard. "They Poured Fire on us From the Sky" changed my life in a profound way. After ...

American Government: Institutions and Policies

James Q. Wilson, Jr., John J. DiIulio

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2005

Great intro to Am. Gov't
I never thought I'd be interested in gov't until I read this. It tells what the founders were thinking when they instituted this gov't we have and what their intentions were when they wrote the constitution. I thought that the gov't was here for the fat cats to sit on their butts and live off us all, but when I learned that the ppl that wrote everything had the interests of the gen. pop. in mind ...
