Editorial Reviews: Review “I have been using The Logic of American Politics for ten years, and of all the introductory textbooks on American politics, this is the best. It has a well-carried theme throughout, is comprehensive, and always reflects updated political science research.” — Danny Hayes”The Logic of American Politics is the best textbook on the market for those instructors seeking to emphasize the concepts of institutional design and collective action. This thematic focus helps introductory students truly understand American government and politics. What is more, the text pushes students to think analytically about the topic while engaging them with both current and historical narratives in American politics.” — Patrick Wohlfarth”The Logic of American Politics is a well-written and thorough introduction that incorporates helpful and contemporary examples. It is the best textbook that I have come across in the subject of American politics and the discipline of political science.” — Ashley Moraguez About the Author Samuel Kernell is professor of political science at the University of California, San Diego, where he has taught since 1977.

She is a recipient of the Andrew F. Carnegie Prize in the Humanities and Social Sciences and the author of five books, including Identity Crisis: The 2016 Presidential Campaign and the Battle for the Meaning of America, named the “most ominous” book of 2018 by the Washington Post Book Review. Nate Silver dubbed her 2012 election book the “definitive account” of that election, and her book on messaging has been seen in the hands of more than a few presidential candidates and consultants. Her 2020 election project, NATIONSCAPE, is the largest study of presidential elections ever fielded in the United States. Interviewing more than 6,000 people a week, NATIONSCAPE will complete 500,000 interviews before the inauguration in 2021. At UCLA she teaches courses on campaigns, elections, public opinion, and the 1960s. Professor Vavreck holds a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Rochester and held previous appointments at Princeton University, Dartmouth College, and The White House. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, she remains a loyal Browns fan and is a “known equestrian” – to draw on a phrase from the 2012 presidential campaign.

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

⭐It was only like 6 bucks and came in amazing condition!

⭐Not a very good condition – very dusty – had to clean the book as it was kind of gross – still a deal for the price

⭐Great buy and book is in very good condition. Quick shipping too. Thank you!

⭐A college text book that unabashedly leans politically left? NO WAY! … masking controversial opinions as cold hard facts and indisputable truth. Be prepared to turn off your brain and suck in all the propaganda as your leftist professor drills one ideology after another into your pathetic group-think brains…

⭐N/A

⭐It was great quality. I rented it for a class just to realize it was the wrong text book when the class started. So just make sure you’re getting the right textbook. It can be a bit tricky.

⭐didnt use it at all

⭐Ordered for my university course but honestly really enjoyed reading it. It is not only fact jammed packed, it also reads in a way that you will not get lost in the text.
