5.0 out of 5 stars In a time when social media and “Fake News” seem to grab the headlines without substance, this is a solid book

Hard to assess!
The goal of this book is to make history pertinent and understandable.

It incorporates solid historical foundations with a contemporary twist, while adding tales of activism and social interactions

I did not realize it was such a full size, yearlong text book and while I cannot quite judge the targeted audience, this is an excellent book

The main parts are listed:
1. Foundations
2. Political Behavior and Mass Politics
3. Institutions

The 850 pages break each of these main parts into bite sized subsections with illustrations, cartoons and charts There are many stories of history seldom taught any longer but that still have relevance. The Chapter reviews and the Appendices at the end area well done.

In a time when social media and “Fake News” seem to grab the headlines without substance, this is a solid book that tries to explain the very complex American political system.

Highly recommended

It is not even together it just has holes punched in all the pages, so if you want to keep it in order you have to put it in a binder. Thats not what I paid for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Info dense and engaging
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2017
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I'm not 100% positive of the target age for this text but assume it is high school since much of the information is very basic. Originally when selecting this for review, I assumed it was college aged. In any event, the basic foundation information is solid enough but as previously mentioned, rather basic. What really sets this apart, and was the reason I selected it, was the "telling stories" sections. For example, telling stories with data, telling stories with pictures etc...this introduces students to data collection, critical thinking etc in an engaging and relevant manner. Ample charts, case studies, pictures and other ancillary materials keep the readers attention. Extensive resources.

This book does a good job of making history relevant. It integrates the fundamentals with tales of activism and strategy. It provides a solid historical foundation with a contemporary twist. That being said, it is long, over 850 pages and heavy for a paperback. Chockful of illustrations, cartoons and charts, it makes political science understandable and fun. there is a lot of material but with study it will provide the student a solid understanding of the American political system.
