America (The Book) (2004) is a mock civics textbook from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, credited to Stewart and the show's writers. Laid out like a high school textbook, with chapters, discussion questions and classroom activities, it satirizes American government, history and the media, covering the founding, the three branches of government, elections and the press. Among its features is a mock Supreme Court spread with justices' heads on cutout bodies, which led some stores to refuse to stock it.
