Gateways to Democracy: An Introduction to American Government, Essentials
"Including policy segments provides relevancy throughout the text rather than requiring students to 'wait' until the end of the text."- Tressa Tabares, American River College"It addresses the major subject matter with concision but also from an in-depth point of view along with a global perspective, which is very important to me as an instructor."- Tony Wohlers, Cameron University"This textbook transforms American politics from a subject to be taught to students to a tool that students can learn to use. The focus strikes me as one designed to empower our students. Hurrah. I love it."- Jenna Bednar, University of Michigan"This appeals to me because it allows students an approach to learning that is cohesive and systematic. They can understand the big picture while learning the details. . . . This approach is absolutely sound. I am seriously appreciative that this text does what I've thought necessary for years."- John Shively, Longview Community College"The vignettes are a great feature and one that I think is critical to the theme of the book. I think this book does a better job at covering the historical aspect of each topic more so than the book I use now."- Mary Barnes-Tilley, Blinn College
