This is a bundled package of American Government, 7th edition, and The American Anomaly, 3rd edition. Cal Jillson's American Government: Political Development and Institutional Change, 7th edition shows students how the nation's past is present in all aspects of contemporary politics, using the dynamics of change as a tool to understand how politics works and how institutions, systems, avenues of participation, and policies have evolved over time to produce today's political environment in the United States. The American Anomaly, 3rd edition, systematically analyzes the U.S. political system by way of comparison with other countries, especially other industrialized democracies. It is organized into four sections, respectively covering the constitutional order, governmental institutions, political participation, and public policy. Extended case studies in each chapter draw on all the major regions of the world.
