“My initial choice for Barbour’s wonderful book was its brevity and attractive layout. My big surprise was how well it’s actually written. The narrative is fresh and readable. The graphics are colorful and engaging. AmGov: Long Story Short organizes the lessons into digestible nuggets which is perfect for contemporary students. And it does all of this while still elevating the discussion. AmGov explores some very sophisticated concepts in political science in a very accessible way." —Brett Sharp, University of Central Oklahoma
Unlike competitors, AmGov: Long Story Short responds to the need for quick studying and skimming by design—the succinct ten chapters make it easy to flip, revisit, reorient, and return to content quickly. Though brief, the Third Edition of this core book is still robust and current enough to provide everything that students need to be successful in their American Government course.
