Synopsis
This volume provides a concise yet thorough overview of California's complex political system. This brief "nuts and bolts" treatment uses contemporary examples that are illustrative of complex principles. The text includes coverage of such major issues as the economy, education, and immigration and discusses the impact of these issues on California politics. In addition, the text integrates public policy coverage throughout the text, instead of consigning it to one chapter - keeping students focused on the practical effects of legislation and other government activities.

Review
"What impresses me most, as both a teacher and practitioner of government, is how well the authors' have achieved their goal of creating an excellent "practical" and useable guide for students to understand how California State and Local Government works and why this knowledge is important to them. It briefly but clearly explains what California State and Local Government is, how it works, how it affects us, and how we can affect it in order to achieve results." "I really like the integration of the direct democracy ballot propositions into the witten material of each chapter. I have never seen it done so systematically and well." "This book is concise enough to be assigned to my American Government students in conjunction with a complete American Government text and comprehensive enough to cover main ideas and issues related to California government and politics."
