Synopsis
Bowman/Kearney's STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT, THE ESSENTIALS, SIXTH EDITION takes a positive look at state and local government, in a shorter and more streamlined approach than its full-length counterpart (State and Local Government 9781435462687). It espouses clearly and succinctly that government can be a force for good in society, while addressing critics simultaneously. Through engaging coverage of current events and an accessible writing style, the text fosters interest and involvement in state and local politics, policy, and public service.

Review
"It takes a positive approach to the subject and attempts to give state and local more of an emphasis than is considered in the popular culture and the media."-Joe Gaziano, Lewis University
"The text is well organized, comprehensive, clear, and addresses the core elements, current and future perspectives of local and state government."-Sandra Pevelka, Florida Gulf Coast University
"A very up-to-date and well-organized book. It reflects the dramatic changes and challenges in state and local government since the great economic recession of the last few years." -Paul Rozycki, Mott Community College, Flint, MI
