What Instructors are Saying About Government in America

JOEL FRANKS, BLINN COLLEGE

" . . . we began using Government in America with its fourth edition and we have stayed with it ever since . . . .

"The manner in which the themes are woven into each different chapter is nicely done. By emphasizing the democratic process and just how far in scope our government can go are quite thought provoking.

"The text has the best presentation of policy chapters of any on the market. The mix is grand and the manner of writing and introducing the policies to the students is well done."

BRINCK KERR, UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS

"This is one of the very best texts on the market. It is well-written and organized, the content is appropriate for introductory courses, it provides a balanced treatment of topics, it is up to date, and it is interesting to read. The authors are to be congratulated . . ."

JOSEPH S. TRACHTENBERG, CLAYTON STATE COLLEGE

"Chapter One is often overlooked in an introductory text. In Edwards it is essential. This chapter does an excellent job of introducing all of the major concepts that will be covered in depth elsewhere.

"I want to compliment the authors for their balanced approach to policy issues. Students of various points of view are comfortable with the way in which issues are presented."

JOSEPH R. RUDOLPH, JR., TOWSON STATE UNIVERSITY

"Overall, the subject of [Chapter 14, The Congress, the President, and the Budget] this chapter is perfect for illustrating the scope and democracy themes, and does an excellent job in doing so.

An altogether excellent chapter on the substance and process of budgeting. Well balanced and highly readable."
