| Synopsis: |
The new century requires a new approach to the study of American government. You Decide! is the most innovative textbook about American government to be published in years. Although the American political landscape at the close of the 20th century is a fascinating and complicated subject, veteran political scientists Alan Shank and Edward Drachman have produced a timely and comprehensive guide for both students and teachers. This textbook, designed specifically for introductory level courses on American Government and Political Science but appropriate for Advanced Placement classes in high schools, presents the most pressing controversies facing the nation in a concise, highly accessible case format. Students are provided with background information, summaries of options available to policy makers, and insights into possible future developments, encouraging them to engage these issues and decide for themselves how the nation's leaders should proceed. Instructors receive helpful suggestions for teaching the cases, including class activities devised in conjunction with the lecture notes and suggestions for future reading.Among the controversial issues addressed are school prayer, affirmative action, bilingual education, campaign finance reform, Congressional term limits, the presidential line-item veto, welfare reform, and school vouchers. You Decide! lets you_student, scholar, general reader_have the final word. |
