Horizon Textbook Publishing Releases Understanding American Government (4th Edition)
Redding, CA (PRWEB) November 9, 2006 -- Horizon Textbook Publishing (http://www.htpublishing.com), the leaders in custom textbook publishing with over 20 years experience, today announced the release of Understanding American Government, fourth edition, by Stephenson, Bresler, Friedrich, Turner, and Karlesky. This new edition will be available for Horizon's Fall-2007 promotion.
This book is an introduction to American politics and government. Its objective is not to convince readers that a particular political position is "best." Accordingly, it does not take sides on issues such as free market, taxation, abortion, social welfare, or big government. The two fundamental goals of the book are: (1) to explain why understanding politics and government is crucial to making one's way in our complex society, and (2) to clarify how the actions of politicians and the consequences of governmental decisions affect people's lives. The book highlights the importance of ideas and economic concerns in the resolution of political issues. Toward this end, most chapters contain one or more of the following special feature boxes: "Politics and Economics," "Politics and Ideas," and "Contemporary Controversies."
"Understanding American Government is not designed to create more liberals or conservatives or capitalists or socialists," said Jason James, CEO of Horizon Textbook Publishing. "Its task is to examine the American political system and to stimulate informed critical thinking about politics and government."
