The Enduring Democracy (Book Only)
. . . a text book that provides a strong foundation [for] students, which will also help them understand concepts through the up to date information and examples provided within each chapters. In addition the text provides both historical background information as well as global perspectives and examples. The text is not biased and will provide students with many aspects to consider while studying government and politics."This is an excellent text for instructors who are looking to provide historical context to their introductory American Government classes. Students often fail to see the relevance of history to their lives. This text shows that our contemporary governmental institutions are rooted in historical development that shapes the nature of our democracy. This is shown through case studies that highlight both how processes and institutions evolve and how they also retain much of their same character over time. The clear, conversational style of writing makes this an ideal addition to introductory classes aimed at non-political science majors."I think the book's writing style is just right for our students. I found the text easy to read and the flow of material adequate to keep the reader's interest."This text is modern, includes excellent features, and should be used on our campus!
