520    The Basics of American Government is a collaborative 
       effort among eight current and one former faculty members 
       in the Departments of Political Science and Criminal 
       Justice at University of North Georgia. The purpose of 
       this book is to offer a no-frills, low-cost, yet 
       comprehensive overview of the American political system 
       for students taking introductory courses in American 
       national government.  Furthermore, the work combines the 
       best aspects of both a traditional textbook and a reader 
       in that most chapters offer a piece of original 
       scholarship as a case study to bolster or reinforce the 
       material presented in the chapter. In addition, many 
       chapters present a civic engagement-type exercise and 
       discussion questions intended to challenge, engage and 
       foster student participation in the political system.  The
       authors undertook this project for several reasons, most 
       notably the high costs of textbooks for students and the 
       lack of college-level scholarship found in most American 
       Government texts. This 375-page, peer-reviewed, edited 
       book that combines traditional material with original 
       scholarship will cost students $27.99, well below market 
       standards. All of the authors are experienced classroom 
       instructors, subject matter experts and published 
       researchers in the field of American politics.
