A Trek through Texas Government

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Rather than standard textbooks, which are often written as expanded outlines, A Trek through Texas Government is a textbook in narrative form. This travel adventure tale allows readers to move across geography and through time to learn about the history and government of Texas. The story encompasses everything from a “tour” of the capitol to exploring Texas iconography to concise explanations of municipal, county, special district, and state-wide governmental structure. Students learn the political and cultural history of Texas, state demographics, special interests, and how public moneys are raised and spent. In addition, A Trek through Texas Government enables students to compare and contrast the government of Texas with the federal government. Readers learn about Federalism, The Constitution, federal laws that apply within the state itself, and the rarely discussed presence of the foreign governing entities within the state. Offering an engaging alternative to traditional history and government texts, A Trek through Texas Government is suitable for courses in the history, government, and unique culture of the state.
