How can our history provide us with a roadmap to the future?
The Enduring Democracy provides the essentials of American government, with a focus on placing current issues and debates into a historical perspective. By looking back, students can better understand the challenges and controversies characterizing American government today. This allows them to tap into those "lessons learned" to identify, understand, and even provide solutions to today's changing political reality.
The highly anticipated Eighth Edition frames the 2024 presidential elections from the perspective of what they mean to students, so that they can see the relevance of American government in their daily lives.
This text is offered in Sage Vantage, an intuitive learning platform that integrates quality Sage textbook content with assignable multimedia activities and auto-graded assessments to drive student engagement and ensure accountability.
