[ecrea] New book: American Government and Politics in the Information Age

NEW BOOK

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS IN THE INFORMATION AGE, Version 3.0, 2018

By DAVID L. PALETZ, DIANA OWEN, and TIMOTHY E. COOK

Our text is a comprehensive, up-to-date introduction to American 
government and politics. But it is more than that. It should be of 
special interest to members of the IAMCR for two important reasons:

First, it is organized to connect students’ media and 
technology-saturated lives to American government and politics. We show 
how the media interact with and depict the American political system, 
the similarities and differences between these media depictions and the 
reality of government and politics, and the consequences these 
interactions and depictions have for the public, politics, government, 
and public policies.
Second, issued by the innovative company FlatWorld, our text shatters 
the traditional model of “big publisher” prices:
	Pricing for online access starts at just $29.95 (add ons available are 
color textbook $25 and download for $20)
	All content is available in print, online, and downloadable ebook formats
	Instant availability
	The text is complemented by free online resources such as videos, 
quizzes, test bank, power point slides, and instructor manual 	When the 
text is adopted, students receive access to its first three chapters 
before they purchase it
