American Government

Renting vs. Buying This Textbook

Renting is usually cheapest if you only need the book for one term: you return it with a free prepaid label when the term ends. Buying used can beat renting when the sell-back price is high, so compare the sell-back price with the rental price before you decide. An eTextbook arrives instantly but usually expires. Rentals and used copies rarely include working access codes.

Always match the ISBN on your syllabus (9780618956128) before you order; different editions have different ISBNs.

Student involvement in the material is bolstered by proven pedagogical features such as chapter outlines, suggested Web links for research, and How Things Work boxes that summarize important facts.
