Students have also complimented it.””Great historical context for American institutions in government with [a] much broader Appendix than most other textbooks. The book also draws out excellent analytical thinking, which is much needed, and offers a superb online supplement called MindTap.””Compared to other American Government texts, the Wilson textbook is especially well-written and well-researched.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Has great charts and has all the documents you’ll need for class

⭐My son needed this a full year and we could only extend a little bit at a time. Then after that it triggered an auto buyout. May have well found this as a used book somewhere. Rip off… will not use this again.

⭐The description and pictures showed 20 chapters but it only had 16. Had to wing the last section of the course. Book was in rough shape, which is fine with me as long as they don’t try to charge me for it.

⭐I got this book for a college course and it was very useful for studying the topics of the course! Easy to use and understand.

⭐Needed for college class

⭐Using for my college class.

⭐I am renting this dirty book for $67! Wow

⭐Came in quick and was super easy to order! I love ordering my textbooks through Amazon because not only are the cheaper for us struggling college students! But they are easier to deal with too and their textbooks are in great shape!!
