Customer Book Reviews
Very good book for anyone who has been out of the education enviroment for awhile. This reference is an excellent review of government and how the system works for us.
This book is very helpful to me and very educational for my politics class. I have learned a lot about the government, that I didn't know.
They listed the book as in good to very good condition with minimal highlighting or tearing....the book is in great shape physically, BUT THERE IS HIGHLIGHTING ON HALF OF EVERY PAGE!!! Isn't the point of highlighting to mark specific words of a paragraph or sentences of a page for later review??? When you highlight half of every page this defeats the purpose. AND the seller should not have sold this book with the above description when it is obvious by opening it and flipping to any page that there is excessive highlighting. DO NOT TRUST THIS SELLERS DESCRIPTIONS
The book was in very poor condition both outside and inside
By M. Sydnoron Jan 21, 2015
The book was in very poor condition both outside and inside. It was described as in good condition. It is not highlighted and readable, but the pages are dog eared and the outside edges are very worn. Disappointed in the condition for the price.
I really got a lot out of this book and would recommend it to my family. I used the book for the class and I have to say that I learned a lot about the constitution.
This book is being sold by Pearson for a huge profit to the publishers and author. At the same time, they are offering at best sophmoric garbage as support for the professors and students using this book. In 2010 they have childish powerpoints that are not complete but rudimentary. In an age where everyone is using computers they have no, zero, nada computer support of any kind for the faculty or students user. Do not under any circumstance believe what they tell you about anything being 'ready.' And please for your students sake do not order this book for class or for yourself. I know I am in this hole now.
The book came in a timely manner in a well prepared package, as well as the book being in great shape. Got more for my money than I imagined I would.
I did not get to use it because I had to drop the class due to work schedule. I did read two chapters that were very informative.
Needed it for class and it was useful but I get frustrated with the prices and never can get rid of the book after class.
When I received the book, it was in very good condition. It arrived the day that I had to do an assignment.
great book - seller was on time and I had no issues. I would order again from this seller
Great text. It was very concise and clear. It was in good condition for a rental.
Great price, timely shipping. Product was as advertised. Would definitely purchase from this seller again.
I don't like a rental that is highlighted, and in pink. I expected the book to be cleaner. This is a book for a class I'm taking and it's easy to find things in the index. It also has short explanations in special text boxes that are helpful. Some of the material is outdated, but some of the information is as recent as two years ago. Overall, the book has been helpful, and I've augmented its information with google searches for updated information.
Superficial, unfocused and intellectually light-weight.
By Joseph A. Harderon Nov 02, 2011
Iam an adjunct at a community college, and i cannot chose the books I use in my American government classes. After several years of using the slightly flawed, but still good Sabato/O'Connor textbook, a retiring faculty member decied that we had to use the Volkomer textbook. I notice that this book gets several five star rating son Amazon. However, none of these favorable ratings discuss the book as such. Instead, the five star ratings are for how promptly the book was delivered. NONE of the reviewers has anything significant to say about content. It is precisely the content of the book that is fatally flawed. the book consists of 14 rushed, occasionally superficial chapters, written in a way that does almost nothing to engage the students interests. There are also glaring factual errors, and omissions of important details. Let me cite only two examples. In the first chapter, the book quotes a speech 'made by Abraham Lincoln in the US House of Representaives in 1857.'. There is only one problem with this . More precisely, there are TWO. First of all, in 1857 , Lincoln had been out of the House for eleven years. Secondly, the quoted speech is actually from an little known episode in American history, the Lincoln- Douglas debates. (I am being sarcastic.) It gets worse. Can one imagine a discussion of the black struggle for civil rights which does not mention Martin Luther King, W.E.B. Dubois, Medgar Evers, or Rosa Parks? yet this is precisely what this book does. There are a few positive features. Like may other textbooks, it reprints Federalist Ten and Federalist 51. However, it does more. It also contains two key texts by ANTI Federalists. However, I must speak frankly. Despite these and other positive features, this is one of the pooresst college textbooks I have ever seen, and all of the adjuncts I have spoken to agree that it is second-rate at best. If this book is representative of the intellectual quality of the American government textbooks currently available, it is no wonder that increasing numbers of American students are underinformed and unengaged when it comes to American politics.
The item was perfect. Excellent condition. I was very very satisfied. Best seller ever.Shipping was on time as described. I highly recomend this seller.
It's new! Like just off the shelf! I'm satisfied with it! And the shipping is so fast! Tks so much~~~

Love it!
This book was received in great condition. The price was a steal
By Myrna Prescott-gordonon Mar 09, 2015
This book was received in great condition. The price was a steal. Great for anyone who wants to learn and review the government of the U.S.
Good
This book costs about 100$ or more in my bookstore. Renting this book for less than 30$ and I can borrow it for 6 months. I highly recommend renting from amazon student. Such a great deal.
Suited my expectations..
It was a very good price for a high quality book plus the CD was included.
New book in excellent condition. I am enjoying learning about our government from a new perspective.
it was a nice book for that price
