"I was introduced to American Government and Politics Today when it was adopted by the Department for use during a two year cycle. I simply fell in love with the depth, substance and logic of how the material was presented. ... I like the way that the chapters are organized and topics are addressed. Information is presented in a logical and easily understood manner. The photographs and illustrations help bring to life the topics that is being addressed and helps students understand better why the material is relevant to them and their families."
