Connecting current, real-world issues to the text's enduring themes, this edition provides an increased focus on recent political developments, including gay marriage, marijuana legalization, government surveillance, the impact of social media on political activity, gun control, immigration politics, education policy, net neutrality, campaign finance, and more.
