About this title

Synopsis

The Third Edition has been updated to cover recent developments, including the 2010 elections, the budget crisis, and Governor Schwarzenegger’s influence on California politics.

Governing California encourages students to think critically about how California government and politics impact their own lives. Incorporating several of the successful features of We the People, the text emphasizes critical thinking and the relevance of government to students’ everyday lives. Governing California can be used with any American government textbook or on its own.
