This text focuses on the role that democracy has played in the American story and asks students how democracy is–or isn’t–revealed in our politics and government. It encourages students to examine how deeply connected politics and government are with historical, economic, and social influences. The Struggle for Democracy both strengthens a fundamental aspect of critical thinking and tells a unique story of our country’s political development.   This text features full integration with the New MyPoliSciLab.  MyPoliSciLab includes a wide array of resources to encourage students to look at American politics like a political scientist and analyze current political issues.  Political Explorer lets students play the role of a political scientist by investigating issues through interactive data.  Core Concept videos discuss the big ideas in each chapter and apply them to key political issues.

.. Now more than ever before in history Americans do not trust their Government. Yet, most people don’t even know how the government operates or significant dates in American History. This textbook provides usable tools for critically analyzing our political system and making judgments for how well our government works. The text is comprehensible, lays a good foundation for understanding government and politics, and provides food for thought.

Well, this was requested by the professor, so I bought it. Would I use any other products besides Pearson if there were more available, and better, yes. I do not really think the book is exceptional, neither is the online practice. Lots of little errors and somethings are not very clear. Questions of quizzes are not well formulated either. I think college professors end up choosing Pearson products because there are not many other options that meet price (reasonable enough for undergrads) and content. So, it is just okay.

I enjoyed this textbook.It didn't feel overly dense and unapproachable the way some textbooks do.But it also didn't feel overly light and fluffy like some, if that makes sense.It struck a decent balance.

I really like this book and the text it has. The vocabulary and the terms are up to date with modern times. This edition is just the one I needed as I go to LACC and is exactly what my Political Science teacher asked for. Book is big but has pictures and diagrams, overall it is easy to read.

I was close to purchasing this exact book off this website, because my profesor requested this exact book. I'm glad I didn't because I went to my local school book store and purchased it new with the CD included for only 105.00+tax. BAM!

Comprehensive and interesting presentation of U.S. government, history, and politics ranging from the Revolutionary War period to present day administration. Engaging text with numerous graphics and photos. The companion website contains a variety of self tests for each chapter which greatly enhance the learning process.

This book is poorly written and the author paints material (particularly the graphs) in a way that makes me suspicious that he is not being completely honest. His political bias (democrat) is readily apparent, and he seems not to care very much for the Founding Fathers' ideas concerning government (namely, separation of powers and the idea that the people should not control the government to directly).

Very well put book and provides a breakdown for any one to understand.... I have the book and am selling email me @ joshualross@bethelks.edu 9 bucks plus shipping. ....let me know first cone first serve.
