Mechanical engineering at the University of Arkansas developed into a program and a department in the late nineteenth century as the state government slowly began to understand the importance of the subject as part of the land-grant college's mission. After moving into its own building in the 1960s, the mechanical engineering program successfully developed into one that balanced the needs of faculty research with the needs of both undergraduate and graduate students. This is the department's story.

Readings in Arkansas Politics and Government brings together in one volume some of the best available scholarly research, both new and not so new, on a wide range of topics and issues of interest to students of politics and government in the Natural State. The twenty-one articles are arranged in four sections, ranging from the state’s socioeconomic and political context to the workings of its policymaking institutions and the key policy puzzles facing the state in the early twenty-first century. Some of the topics covered include demographics, legislation, issues of church and state, the role of African Americans in the legislature, term limits, constitutional reform, civil rights, and education reform. Ideal for use in introductory and advanced undergraduate courses, the book will also appeal to lawmakers, administrators, journalists, and those interested in how politics and government work in the state.
