Sinopsis

TEXAS POLITICS is a comprehensive text that critically compares Texas government and politics to the concepts of democratic theory by using three main themes: democratic ideals, conservatism, and conflict. Boxed features in every chapter make the text engaging by providing human examples of more theoretical issues, including a "You Decide" box where students can consider the pros and cons of important topics. The text's lively presentation of material -- the authors use a conversational writing style and humor -- encourages students to consider controversial issues and debate. An intuitive organizational structure and integrated teaching tools support learning for students of all backgrounds and interest levels. A full-color design contains many new photos, cartoons, tables, and figures.

Críticas

"This textbook is well-written and thought provoking. The printing quality is excellent and the tables, photographs, cartoons and layout are appealing to the eye and they catch the reader's attention and keep it focused." -Sandy Self, J.D., Hardin-Simmons University "I thought the authors did well in weaving in the democratic ideals of participation, majority rule, minority rights, and equality before the law." -Robert Bezdek, Texas A&M Corpus Christi "While some texts have ?good editions? and ?bad editions, ? or lose focus over time, every edition of Kraemer that I?ve seen over the past twenty years has been excellent."-Ron Velten, Grayson County College "While some texts have "good editions" and "bad editions," or lose focus over time, every edition of Kraemer that I've seen over the past twenty years has been excellent."-Ron Velten, Grayson County College
