Description
Adopting a "nuts and bolts" approach, Coleman, Calvi, and Marsh have designed a text that fits both programs that integrate Texas and U.S. Government-and those that teach Texas and US government in separate courses. The text complements American government texts, strategically avoiding the overlapping of material and makes makes comparisons and contrasts with national institutions on a strict as-needed basis.
