Description

Thoroughly updated with new scholarship, data, and events, this text remains reader-friendly with its engaging opening vignettes and rich examples--told only the way prolific author and columnist Don Kettl can. With three case studies in every chapter, students apply ideas and analysis as they read. Useful critical thinking questions at the end of each case help shape student responses and in-class conversation.
