About the Book

For nearly 50 years, Burns, Peltason, Cronin, and Magleby's Government By The People has taught students the ins and outs of American Government. Now, as we enter a new millennium, no other book is better poised to take your students from on-lookers to participants. Combining the learning of a traditional textbook with the power of the Internet, Government By The People Web Interactive Version offers a narrative-only text with a highly developed website. Students read sections of the text to learn important concepts and basic information and then turn to the coordinated website to explore examples, photos, charts, and graphs. The website also includes the full text of primary source documents mentioned in the corresponding sections of the text, links to websites of further interest, and a mini-assessment so students can check themselves as they move through each chapter. After they finish working through a chapter, students can take a quiz, complete a brief activity using further websites, or explore our Election 2000 site. Government By The People Web Interactive Version lets students see democracy s participatory government in a whole new way.Students using this text require a special access code to enter the website. A card containing this access code should be packaged with this book. If it is not packaged with this text, log onto www.prenhall.com/burnsweb to purchase an access code on line.
