Program OverviewAdvanced Placement*
Acclaimed for the scholarship of its prominent authors and the clarity of its narrative, American Government sets the standard for public policy coverage while maintaining focus on three fundamental topics: the institutions of American government; the historical development of governmental procedures, actors, and policies; and who governs in the United States and to what end. Student involvement in the material is bolstered by proven pedagogical features such as chapter outlines, suggested Web links for research, and How Things Work boxes that summarize important facts. The greatly enhanced media package with new online tools makes the learning experience engaging and accessible. Updates throughout the text reflect the latest scholarship and current events, including analysis of the 2008 elections and leadership of President Obama and the 111th Congress, the economic downturn and new policies to combat the crisis, recent changes to the Supreme Court, same-sex marriage, Guantanamo Bay detainees, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. There are new figures, tables, and photos throughout the text.
