TherearedozensofAmericanGovernmenttextbooksonthemarket,manyofthemveryrespectedandsuccessful,someevenregardedasclassicsintheirumpteenth(無數(shù)次的)edition.Frequentlythereislittlethatdistinguishesonefromanother,otherthananidiosyncratic(特殊的)"conceptualframework,"thenumberandkindsofgraphics,boxes,andphotos,orthepackageofancillary(輔助的)materialsavailabletotheadopter.ThePlayofPower:AnIntroductiontoAmericanGovernmentistypicalofthestandardAmericanGovernmenttextbookonthemarket.Itprovidesbalancedcoverageofpoliticalandconstitutionalhistory,Americanpoliticalinstitutionsandprocesses,andpoliticalparticipation.Thisbasicversiondoesnotincludeseparatechaptersonpublicpolicy,butmanypolicyissuesareaddressedinthecoverageofthecongress,thepresidency,thebureaucracy,thecourts,andinterestgroups.

Thechaptersareorganizedinalogicalsequencebuttheyarewrittensothattheymaybeusedinanalternativesequenceifaninstructorwouldsodesire.Thewritingstyle.isverystraightforwardandnotunnecessarilyacademicandjargonistic.Thetoneisrespectfulofstudentsandtheirexperiencesand,despitemultipleauthors,itremainsconsistentthroughoutthetext.
