Updated with the latest legislative and election results, Brown/Langenegger/Garcia/Biles/Rynbrandt/Reyna/Huerta’s PRACTICING TEXAS POLITICS, ENHANCED, 17th Edition, shows you the ins and outs of public-policy making in the Lone Star State. It includes a special focus on the role of a growing Latino population, the effects of 2018 elections, the results of the 86th Texas Legislative Session and the impact of oil and gas on state finances. ‘Point/Counterpoint’ features examine both sides of controversial issues — illustrating that there is rarely a single ‘right’ answer — while ‘Students in Action’ features spotlight students making a meaningful difference. Equipping you with anywhere, anytime learning, MindTap Political Science digital learning solution provides everything in one place — eBook, activities, flashcards, quizzes, dictionary and more — to maximize your study time.
