This is the fourth edition of American Government: Policy and Politics by Neal Tannahill as published in 1995 for the Houston Community College System. Tannahill's style brilliantly combines sound scholarship with engaging writing to provide students, who may have little or no background in political science, with a foundation for understanding the essentials of the American political system.

The text proves that scholarly writing can appeal to an audience broader than die-hard academics, sparking students' intellectual curiosity and motivating them to read further. To capture readers' interest from the start, Tannahill begins each chapter with an illustration of a current policy issue on a recent political event, and maintains that interest throughout the text by employing familiar current events as examples.

Following are the 16 chapters from the textbook's table of contents:
