ISBN10: n/a    ISBN13: 9780190299514

Each chapter opens with a compelling story that -- along with the rich use of poignant and humorous examples -- brings Texas politics to life in a manner never accomplished before by a Texas government textbook. Insider Interviews with key political figures provide students with examples of what is happening -- or not happening -- behind the scenes. Great Texas Political Debates add context to discussions about current issues. "Is it Bigger in Texas?" boxes compare Texas with other states in the Union. "Angles of Power" features investigate political and personal interactions between key players and institutions. Communication, Critical Thinking, Social Responsibility, and Personal Responsibility questions address the requirement of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. "Texas Takeaways" questions help students check their understanding. "See For Yourself" features enable students to connect to videos and other interactive online content with the click of a smartphone. Extensive coverage of Latinos highlights the importance and complexities of this growing demographic and voting group.
