Description This critical thinking approach to American government challenges students to evaluate the quality of democracy in America today within a unique framework that offers a holistic view of our system.

A unique analytical framework presented in the first chapter illustrates the interactions between underlying structural factors—the economy, society, cultural values, etc.

This framework offers a holistic view of our system.

The units of the maps are sized in proportion to the data being reported, giving students a unique and visual way to think critically about a range of issues. Superior diversity coverage remains a hallmark of the book, with integrated treatment of issues related to the changing population of the United States woven throughout.
