Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Principles and Practice of American Politics is a well-balanced reader covering all the major topics of an American Government course." —Blake Jones, Ohio Valley University Combining timeless readings with cutting-edge articles and essays, Principles and Practice of American Politics, Seventh Edition, enriches students’ understanding of the American political system by examining the strategic behavior of key players in U.S. politics. This collection of classic and contemporary readings brings concepts to life by providing students with real examples of how political actors are influenced by the strategies of others and are governed by the Constitution, the law, and institutional rules. Carefully edited by award-winning authors Samuel Kernell and Steven S. Smith, each reading is put into context to help students understand how political actions fall within a major national political forum. New to the Seventh Edition Nine new and updated essays encourage students to reflect on the continuing debates over the polarization of the American electorate and Congress, the role of social media and "fake news" in influencing public views of politicians and issues, the fragile Trump coalition, the efficacy of polling in tracking public opinion, and other issues more relevant than ever in the wake of the 2016 elections. Additional essays challenge students to think more carefully about alternative institutions and political arrangements. The new essays present institutions of majority rule, the nature of racial discrimination, and the proper role of the court as less settled issues that provide students an opportunity to think through (and discuss) their views on the future direction of American civic life. Each selection is artfully framed by Kernell and Smith’s contextual headnotes to make them appropriate for classroom use. Original readings written specifically for the volume give the book a coherent treatment of the performance of U.S. political institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Profile of American Politics: Readings in American Government If government of the people, by the people and for the people is the most ex citing form of government in the world, and we believe it is, the study Of American government should itself be an exciting experience. Convinced Of this, we have taken measures to make this collection Of essays lively, interesting and timely. Since American democracy is a dynamic and ever-changing phenomenon we have focused upon essays which reveal the active elements of political decision without neglecting readings which deal with the legal and formal structure Of decision. The very title, Profile of American Politics, suggests our bias toward the dynamic factors. Our approach emphasizes political, economic and moral factors without overlooking legal, constitutional, historical and other essential ingredients in politics.

Book Synopsis Readings in American Government and Politics (Classic Reprint) by : Charles A. Beard
Download or read book Readings in American Government and Politics (Classic Reprint) written by Charles A. Beard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in American Government and Politics While the materials come from a large variety of sources, I have chosen wherever possible from the writings of men who have had a practical experience in the conduct of government. I have also sought to illustrate the larger and more permanent features of our political system, rather than to furnish a handy guide to the law and practice. To facilitate the work of the student and teacher, I have endeavored to make each extract clear, compact, and self-explanatory, and in several instances I have condensed considerably by omitting obscure allusions and passages not bearing directly on the principles which I have wished to bring out. To avoid marring the pages with unsightly points, I have merely placed an asterisk at the head of each selection which has been subjected to this process of condensa tion. The side notes are intended primarily to help the teacher in conducting class discussions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis It Can't Happen Here by : Sinclair Lewis
Download or read book It Can't Happen Here written by Sinclair Lewis and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The novel that foreshadowed Donald Trump’s authoritarian appeal.”—Salon It Can’t Happen Here is the only one of Sinclair Lewis’s later novels to match the power of Main Street, Babbitt, and Arrowsmith. A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler’s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press. Called “a message to thinking Americans” by the Springfield Republican when it was published in 1935, It Can’t Happen Here is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today’s news. Includes an Introduction by Michael Meyer and an Afterword by Gary Scharnhorst
