Description

The concise and thorough coverage makes the Brief ideal for instructors who want to supplement it with additional readings or other texts, or use it to complement an American government text. Highlights of the text include broad, topical coverage of Texas government institutions, as well as supplementary readings at the end of each chapter that focus on contemporary Texas policy issues. These lively, original selections reflect the complexity of current issues and engage student interest by illustrating key points discussed in the text. Point/Counterpoint features highlight ongoing debates in Texas politics. The text-specific web site offers additional study aids, including selected sources for research and reading, web links, ACE practice tests, and more. Expanded pedagogy to support student learning includes Points to Ponder, How Do We Compare?, lists of key terms and concepts, bolded key terms, end-of-chapter discussion questions and readings, and a glossary.
