American Government and Politics in the Information Age Version 5.0

When purchased from FlatWorld (the publisher), this Color Print Textbook includes Online Access, Quizzes, Flashcards and Homework (if professor uses Homework system). Online textbook is accessible. Inspired by students’ familiarity with mass media and fluent use of communication technologies, the authors make explicit connections between the book’s subject matter, media, and technology. The book’s main areas of focus are: 1) How the media interact with and depict the American political system, 2) The similarities and differences between these depictions and the real world of government and politics, and 3) The consequences these interactions and depictions have on the public, politics at all levels, and government operations and policies. Students develop a keener perception of how the media convey information, and how students themselves can engage productively in politics.
