Websites Published (commercially, not counting my own course websites) American Government Website, the official website for Prentice- Hall's leading American Government textbook, Government by the People, by Burns, Peltason, Cronin, and Magleby. Brief Edition (15 chs.) Website completed, April 1997. National Edition (31 chs.) Website completed, Nov. 1997. Software Authored (CD-ROMs are listed under books). 1995: American Government Simulations, Second Edition. See below. This edition added an entirely new work, Crime and Public Policy, including two new simulations in this field. The six earlier simulations were all revised. 1994: American Government Simulations, a set of six complete stand-alone simulations, each with an extensive "Information Library" containing both original and edited documents, hypertext linkages, graphics, and interactive historical and fictional dialogue. Each simulation is equivalent to a book-length manuscript. The simulations are published by Prentice-Hall under the following titles: Secretary of State, Presidential Budget, House of Representatives, Supreme Court, Bill of Rights, and Washington Ethics. This received the 1995 "Best Instructional Software" award from the American Political Science Association Section on Computers and Multimedia. 1993: Presidential Campaign! Version 2.0. NY: St. Martin's Press, Spring 1993. Although this is a software product I am listing it here because I regard it as equivalent to a book. Based on over a hundred political science studies of electoral campaign strategies, this wholly new edition comes with extensive student and teacher manuals. Version 1.0 was rated best of a dozen political science simulations in an empirical classroom evaluation by Morton Sipress, as presented in a paper to the 1992 American Political Science Association Annual Meeting. The new version is over half different and works with electoral data from 1980 through 1992, including third party candidacies. It involved more research than many of my books and I have received more peer feedback from it than from any book I have written. 1990: Presidential Campaign! Published in March, 1990, by Duke University Press, National Collegiate Software. 1989: "The Writer", a database manager for integrated word processing applications; "Survey I", a survey/statistical system for survey research courses. 1988: "Conversational Reviewer" an AI-based tutorial shell; "UDISS Simulation/Lesson Construction Kit", a simulation shell for text and numeric modeling; "KWIC Text Indexer", a keyword in concordance text analysis tool; "Theory X and Theory Y", a simulate conversation with author Douglas McGregor for tutorial purposes. 1986, 1987: "Word Match", a content analysis package for tallying open-ended survey items and other texts; "Database Generator", a program to create instructional datasets with instructor- controlled correlations, for alpha and numeric data; a set of instructional datasets (State Data Disk, Nations of the World Data Disk, Senate Data Disk, Economy Data Disk, Crime Data Disk); "General Forecaster", a general multiple regression modeling/simulation package. 1984, 1985: "Budgeting Demonstrations"; "Content Analysis"; "Course Manager"; "Electoral College Simulation"; "Personnel Skills Data Bank"; "Policy Percentaging Analysis"; "Screen Simulator"; and "Text Analyzer", "Definitions Review", "Management Style Assessment", "Matching Quiz", and "Timeline". 1982, 1983: "Election '84 Game" (with K. Murphy); "Election '84 Simulation" (with K. Murphy); "Markov Simulator"; "Opinion Poll"; "Prediction Program"; "Social Science Data System" (a set of eighteen interrelated programs forming an introductory statistical and database package with advanced features); "Community Mental Health Policy Simulation"; "Program Evaluation and Review Technique"; "State Data System" (a set of five programs for plotting and mapping of data on the 50 states); "Voting Poll"; and "Decision-Making" Note: Listed in Notable Individuals of the Microcomputer Industry, since 1984.
