Rezensionen / Stimmen
Dr. Rottinghaus treats politics as a struggle in which ordinary people can affect the outcome. When individuals see our political system as rigged, they are less likely to participate in that process. I want my students to not only learn how Texas government works, but also feel empowered to have a positive impact on that government." * Patrizo Amezuca, San Jacinto College-North * Inside Texas Politics is a great mix and makes me WANT to read more. I am sure students who read this book will have the same reaction." * Madelyn Bowman Tarrant County College * Inside Texas Politics is a quality textbook that has risen to the top of potential textbooks that I would consider for my Texas Government course. I agree with the author's goals." * William Parent, San Jacinto College * I use Inside Texas Politics and am very pleased with the way it reads, the quality of its scholarship, and the thematic approach taken by the author. This book offers precisely what students around the state need in order to grasp the subject matter. It is the best text in the field for its systematic approach to the politics of Texas." * Mark A. Cichock, UT Arlington *
