This version of the top-selling State and Local Government retains the unique thematic and historical approach of the comprehensive text in a condensed format. Essentials provides explanations of the structure of state and local government, as well as their functions in the current political scene. Descriptions of public policy appear at relevant points throughout the text and are integrated into discussions to help foster student interest and involvement in state and local politics and policy. A brief and cost-effective alternative, Essentials can be used in conjunction with outside readings or with an American government survey.

Ann O'M. Bowman (Ph.D., University of Florida, 1979) is professor and holder of the Hazel Davis and Robert Kennedy Endowed Chair in the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. She teaches courses in state and local politics and policy, intergovernmental relations, environmental policy and management, and public policy process. Her research interests revolve around questions of institutional change, policy adoption and implementation, and intergovernmental dynamics. She has published numerous books and articles on these topics over the years.
I especially like the fact that the key terms are referenced back to a specific page number. That is an excellent feature . . . -- Review
