American Government

Theodore J. Lowi, Benjamin Ginsberg, and Kenneth A. Shepsle

Think critically about American government American A Brief Introduction teaches students how to interpret and question data in charts, graphs, and polls that they encounter daily in social media. Drawing on her expertise as both a teacher and researcher, new co-author Hahrie Han helps students develop essential quantitative literacy as they learn how American government works. A reconceptualized introductory chapter establishes a foundation for interpreting empirical evidence, and a unique framework built around the themes of governance and representation, helps students understand how the concepts and processes of American government function in their daily lives. Together with a robust media program that offers opportunities to remediate and apply these skills, American A Brief Introduction builds the knowledge and confidence that enables students to think for themselves―whether in the voting booth, community participation, or interpreting in the news.
