AmGov: Long Story Short First Edition by Christine Barbour, ISBN-13: 978-1544325927<\/strong><\/p>\n [PDF eBook eTextbook]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n All the fundamentals. No fluff. Learn more with less!<\/strong><\/p>\n A truly revolutionary American Government textbook, Christine Barbour\u2019s AmGov: Long Story Short<\/strong>, responds to the needs of today\u2019s students and instructors through brevity and accessibility. The succinct ten chapters are separated by tabs that make it easy to skim, flip, revisit, reorient, and return to content quickly. Reading aids like bullets, annotations and arrows walk students through important facts and break up the material in short, engaging bites of information that highlight not only what is important but why it\u2019s important. Though brief, this core book is still robust enough to provide everything that students need to be successful in their American Government course. Whether for the on-the-go student who doesn\u2019t have time to read and digest a lengthy chapter, or the instructor who wants a book that will stay out of their way and leave room for plenty of supplementary reading and activities, AmGov<\/strong> provides a perfectly simplified foundation for a successful American Government course.<\/p>\n Christine Barbour <\/strong>teaches in the Political Science Department and the Hutton Honors College at Indiana University, where she has become increasingly interested in how teachers of large classes can maximize what their students learn. She is working with online course designers to create an online version of her Intro to American Politics class. At Indiana, Professor Barbour has been a Lilly Fellow, working on a project to increase student retention in large introductory courses, and a member of the Freshman Learning Project, a university-wide effort to improve the first-year undergraduate experience. She has served on the New York Times College Advisory Board, working with other educators to develop ways to integrate newspaper reading into the undergraduate curriculum. She has won several teaching honors, but the two awarded by her students mean the most to her: the Indiana University Student Alumni Association Award for Outstanding Faculty and the Indiana University Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists Brown Derby Award. When not teaching or writing textbooks, Professor Barbour enjoys playing with her dogs, traveling with her coauthor, and writing about food. She is the food editor for Bloom Magazine of Bloomington and is a coauthor of\u00a0Indiana Cooks!<\/em>(2005) and\u00a0Home Grown Indiana<\/em>\u00a0(2008). She also makes jewelry from precious metals and rough gemstones and if she ever retires, she will open a jewelry shop in a renovated air-stream on the beach in Apalachicola, Florida, where she plans to write another cookbook and a book about the local politics, development, and fishing industry.<\/p>\n What makes us different?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Instant Download<\/p>\n \u2022 Always Competitive Pricing<\/p>\n \u2022 100% Privacy<\/p>\n \u2022 FREE Sample Available<\/p>\n \u2022 24-7 LIVE Customer Support<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AmGov: Long Story Short First Edition by Christine Barbour, ISBN-13: 978-1544325927 [PDF eBook eTextbook] Publisher: CQ Press; First edition (February 25, 2019) Language: English 400 pages ISBN-10: 1544325924 ISBN-13: 978-1544325927 All the fundamentals.
