A supplemental reader for American Government courses, Choices provides more than 350 articles, documents, book excerpts and speeches from which a professor can choose only those readings they want for their unique reader (150 for 2004).

The list of readings includes the best classic pieces as well as current articles representing the breaking issues of today. Each year, the list is revised and expanded to include the most exceptional source material available in American government and politics.

The list of readings is organized into 20 topical areas (Federalism, Media, Presidency, Social Policy, etc.) that correspond to the organization of most introductory survey texts. However, professors can choose their own headings and sequence their reader in whatever way they prefer.
