American Government by Karen O'connor
Guided by the belief that students must first understand the origins of American government to fully understand the issues facing the United States today, this market-leading text offers the strongest coverage of both history and current events of any college textbook devoted to American politics. From hallmark features like The Living Constitution to new features like the illustrated historical timelines, American Government: Continuity and Change provides the historical context students need to understand our government and the most crucial and controversial issues affecting the nation in the 21st century. This bestselling book has been extensively revised to provide in-depth coverage of the 2008 presidential and congressional elections, President George W. Bush's second administration and the 110th Congress, continued controversies related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on terrorism, and domestic concerns related to rising gas and food prices and the subprime mortgage crisis.Larry J. Smith is the founder and director of the University of Virginia's renowned Center for Politics. Sabato has been dubbed the Dr. Phil of politics in the United States. He has appeared on 60 Minutes, the Today Show, Hardball, The O'Reilly Factor, and Nightline, among other national television and radio programs. He obtained his doctorate in politics from Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, and has been on the faculty of UVA since 1978. He is the author of more than a hundred articles and twenty books, including Feeding Frenzy: Attack Media and American Politics, The Growth of Political Consultants: New Techniques of Winning Elections, and, most recently, The Sixth Year Itch: George W. Bush's Rise and Fall.
