Description
Updated in a new 3rd edition, Living Democracy helps students draw connections between course topics and current events and find a role for themselves in politics and government. Everything about this dynamic book-from its engaging writing and examples, to its bold graphics and photos, to its innovative learning pedagogy and interactive assessment-is designed to get students to participate in their learning, in the classroom, and in all aspects of American politics. By implementing cutting-edge learning theory-based techniques to engage students and help them retain important information, Living Democracy has set a new standard for how textbooks can help students learn. The Alternate Edition includes the same coverage as the comprehensive version but without the chapters on policy.
