By the People by James Morone
The past two years have been anything but "politics as usual" in the United States. By The People, Brief Third Edition, reflects the dynamism of American government and politics with new teaching and learning tools that prepare students to ENGAGE, THINK, and DEBATE now more than ever before. In a storytelling approach that weaves contemporary examples together with historical context, By the People: Debating American Government, Brief Third Edition, explores the themes and ideas that drive the great debates in American government and politics. It introduces students to big questions like Who governs? How does our system of government work? What does government do? and Who are we? By challenging students with these questions, the text gets them to think about, engage with, and debate the merits of U.S. government and politics.
I like the feature of "Comparing Nations" I always find that our students are too proud of our political system without realizing that we can still improve our political system and democracy. This comparative feature is very nice in that most college students are not exposed to other country's politics." * Hong Min Park, University of Wisconsin *
The book is well organized and written in a style that is free of jargon. The major themes are presented clearly and the study questions at end of each chapter enable the instructor to assess how well the student is doing in comprehending the materials." * John Ambacher, Framingham State University *
It's written in an easy to read, relatively engaging narrative form, with many images, and sidebars. The text is less dry than some textbooks and more visually engaging." * Kathleen Tipler, University of Oklahoma *
