Publisher's Synopsis
Examine Texas politics in historical, economic, and demographic contexts
Revel(TM) Government and Politics in the Lone Star State guides students through the historical, economic, demographic, and political environment that has made Texas government and political culture what it is. Drawing on their experiences in political science, journalism, and consulting, authors Tucker Gibson, Clay Robison, and Joanne Connor Green explain Texas's governmental institutions, the players who influence them, and how these factors compare to those in other states. In order to boost student engagement with key concepts, the 2016 Presidential Election Edition incorporates coverage of contemporary issues that dominate today's headlines, as well as the most up-to-date data.
