A new four color Texas politics text that provides accessible and comprehensive coverage of Texas politics and government, utilizing a historical perspective.  

A spin-off from the popular Texas chapters in the O’Connor/Sabato/Haag/Keith, American Government: Continuity and Change, 2006 Texas Edition,  this new, four-color book by a bestselling author team examines the unique character of Texas politics and government and traces how it has changed or remained constant over its history.  The authors argue that, in order to understand Texas today, we must understand how it has evolved over time.  In addition, the authors provide numerous boxed features designed to engage students in debates over key political issues, in critical thinking, and in the current and historical political climate of their state.
