Description
Focusing on the current and historical conflicts and controversies that define America as a nation, "GOVT 2" is a streamlined and extremely current text for the American Government course. Its motivating debate theme and appealing magazine-like format speak directly to today's student. There is a new chapter feature - 'Our Government's Response to the Economic Crisis' - that helps explain the current economic downturn and the ensuing economic policies. As part of the 4LTR Press, "GOVT 2" was created through a 'student-tested, faculty-approved' review process. It is an accessible, affordable approach to the course that accommodates the diverse lifestyles of today's learners through its full suite of learning tools. These tools - correlated to the text chapter-by-chapter - include chapter-in-review cards, video, simulations, podcasts, and quizzes that allow students to learn and study wherever they are and whenever they have time.
