New to this Edition:
The new Portable Version format provides all the material from the comprehensive text in four brief, paperback volumes, allowing students to study almost anywhere. The convenient, slender volumes can be easily carried to class, to the library, or on public transportation. Pagination is identical to the original text, so instructors can order both options for their students.
Each individual volume–Foundations, Institutions, Political Behavior, and Public Policy–contains a table of contents, notes, glossary, and an index, modified for the precise chapters within its covers.
