Using Harold Lasswell s classic definition of politics who gets what, when, and how as their unifying framework, authors Thomas Dye and Ronald Keith Gaddie present balanced arguments on highly sensitive issues including abortion, gun control, same-sex marriage, marijuana decriminalization, and immigration reform. In order to boost student engagement, the 2014 Elections and Updates Edition incorporates coverage of contemporary issues that dominate today s headlines, as well as the most up-to-date data.

College material - mediocre textbook.
Had some good content and some content that was obviously biased and not neutral.
A very easy book to read and understand, especially compared to other college textbooks.

I had to read this book for my Politics class, and I did not enjoy this. It was not very user friendly in terms of having to read. The information was decent, but I wish it was written for those of us that do not know much about politics and helped to better explain things. I was simply not a fan, sorry.
