American Politics: Classic and Contemporary Readings

American Politics: Classic and Contemporary Readings

Editorial Reviews
Review

I like the Cigler and Loomis text because its selection of current readings tends to be better than other texts. They are not so current that they relate only to today's issues, but they are also useful for the student in terms of understanding American politics.

Created to supplement any main text, this comprehensive reader offers a broad selection of classic and current documents, as well as analytical essays on current political issues.

Introductions at the opening of each chapter highlight critical reading and thinking skills and help students understand the material in the text.

• The incorporation of materials on the 2000 elections and 30% new readings engage students in the most current political topics, such as public polling, campaign finance reform, and the budget surplus.
• Questions for Discussion reinforce students' understanding of the controversies and key points in each selection.
