American Government: Power and Purpose (Full Thirteenth Edition (with policy chapters), 2014 Election Update)

Always authoritative. More contemporary than ever.

The text that professors trust to get students thinking analytically about American government now includes new content on how race, gender, and group identity intersect with political behavior and institutions. And, leading scholars have contributed new “Analyzing the Evidence” features that engage students with the questions and methods that political students use themselves.

The 2014 Election Update editions include results and analysis from the 2014 election results as well as updated discussions of other important political developments, such as Obama’s executive orders on immigration and the new limits on the filibuster. In addition, many figures and tables have been updated with the latest data.
