{"product_id":"california-rodgir-cohen-9781988557595","title":"California: Politics and History","description":"California is the world's fifth-largest economy, the most demographically diverse major state in the United States, and the site of the most contested governance experiments in American democracy - a state that cannot house its workers, cannot resolve its water crisis, and cannot be certain that its fifty-year climate authority will survive its current federal legal challenge. \u003cem\u003eCalifornia Government \u003c\/em\u003etraces this state's governance from pre-contact Indigenous civilization and the railroad monopoly era through the Progressive institutions that still define its political architecture, and arrives at the urgent crises of 2026 - a housing shortage built by institutional design, a water system overtaken by climate change, a vehicle emission program under federal legal attack, a sanctuary state in direct conflict with Washington, and an electoral system whose one-party dominance raises questions about democratic accountability no reform has yet resolved. Current through March 2026, this is the textbook California governance deserves.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodgir Cohen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1988557593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781988557595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Humanities Academic Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Rodgir Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623679013119,"sku":"9781988557595","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/california-rodgir-cohen-9781988557595","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
