American Government e-bog

"e;The main strength of this book is that it presents a ahuman side to American Government that challenges students to think critically while still presenting the ateaching side with objectives, self-tests, and chapter reviews."e;A aKathleen Barrett, University of West GeorgiaIn the Second Edition of American Government, author Scott F. Abernathy tunes in to the voices of all Americans, showing how our diverse ideas shape the way we participate and behave, the laws we live by, and the challenges we face. From the Constitutional Convention to Ferguson, Missouri, each chapter features rich, personal narratives that illustrate how the American political system is the product of strategies, calculations, and miscalculations of countless individuals. It focuses on real people, the actions they take, the struggles they face, and how their choices influence outcomes. The key concepts are memorable because they are tied to real politics, where students see political action and political choices shaping how institutions advance or impede the fulfillment of fundamental ideas. Participation is at the heart of this groundbreaking new text, with ample background on how and why to participate. Not only will all students see themselves reflected in the pages, but they will come to understand that they, too, are strategic players in American politics, with voices that matter.A A Complete Teaching and Learning PackageSAGE Vantage Digital OptionEngage, Learn, Soar with SAGE Vantage, an intuitive digital platform that delivers American Government, Second Edition textbook content in a learning experience carefully designed to ignite student engagement and drive critical thinking.
