UNDERSTANDING AMERICAN GOVERNMENT is highly respected and trusted for its attention to research and issues of diversity as well as its award-winning team of authors. While covering the basic foundations and features of American Government, this text also moves beyond the nuts and bolts, to explain why and how important features of government have evolved, their impact on government and individuals, and why these features are controversial (if they are) and worth learning. More than just narrating facts and current issues, UNDERSTANDING AMERICAN GOVERNMENT attempts to leave the students with an understanding of the "why," so their knowledge can be applied long after the course is completed. UNDERSTANDING AMERICAN GOVERNMENT is a three-time winner of the American Government Textbook Award for the Best Treatment of Women in Politics, by the Women's Caucus for Political Science.

Review:
"I chose [this book] on the strength of its organizational approach, explanatory powers, and for its emphasis on critiquing the American system ... It is the best researched book I have found and whether or not the students realize this, they certainly gain the benefit of that research chapter by chapter ... It does not get caught up in unnecessary color, boxes, and pictures, charts, and other distractions."

"The chapter on Money and Politics is a great addition and should not be changed!"

"I think the Welch book incorporates new political science research into the text better and explains its relevance better than other texts."
