About this title

About the Author:

William Earl Maxwell is a professor emeritus at San Antonio College, where he has taught courses in U.S. and Texas government since 1971. Throughout his career Maxwell has focused on innovative teaching techniques and improving the teaching and learning environments for students. As part of that effort, in 1975 Maxwell co-authored UNDERSTANDING TEXAS POLITICS, his first text on Texas government. He also co-authored such texts as POLITICS IN TEXAS and THE CHALLENGE OF TEXAS POLITICS: TEXT WITH READINGS. He completed his undergraduate and graduate work at Sam Houston State University.

Review:

"This book continues to set a standard [that] other Texas Government texts try to emulate. It weaves together rich historical detail with current political trends and debate into a very comprehensive text."

"This is a book for active readers. I especially enjoy the many critical thinking questions that appear throughout the book. The writing is engaging and accurate."
