New York : Routledge, 2008 xxviii, 521 p. : :illus ; 23 cm. Indeks : p.510-521 American Politics is not as simple as it looks.

On the other hand, how difficult can it be for a college professor to introduce a college student to American politics?After all, politics and government are all around us:in the newspapers that we read, on the evening news that we watch, and in the high school history and civics courses that we all took-some more recently than others. We all have a general feel for American politics.
