Synopsis:

Practicing Texas Politics leads the field with its comprehensive, accessible, and practical treatment of Texas politics. The survey style includes coverage of public policy as well as readings in each chapter relevant to the chapter topic.

• The How Do We Compare? feature compares Texas policies to those of the next three most populous states?California, New York, and Florida?as well as contiguous states. Some boxed features include information about Mexican states that border Texas.
• End of chapter features promote class discussion and help students review and find resources for papers and class activities.
• Points to Ponder features provide less-known facts about Texas to stimulate students' interest in their home state.

Review: "PRACTICING TEXAS POLITICS is the most comprehensive, authoritative, and current of all the Texas government and politics textbooks available. It engages student interest through a variety of stimuli, including interesting and often ironic political cartoons, feature boxes filled with intriguing facts about Texas, comparisons of Texas with the other states, 'learning check' questions at the end of major sections, 'Point/Counterpoint' boxes that spell out opposing arguments on current political issues, colorful maps and photographs, and an ample marginal glossary." - James A. Norris, Texas A&M International University
