About the Book

Carefully condensed from the full version by authors Christine Barbour and Gerald C. Wright, Keeping the Republic, Brief Edition gives your students the continuity and all the crucial content of the big book, in a more concise, value-priced text. Throughout the book, the authors draw students in to the study of American politics, teaching them to think critically about "who gets what, and how" and exploring twin themes of power and citizenship. In this new edition, the authors have partnered with award-winning information designer Mike Wirth to create a series of stunning, data-rich infographics, presenting information in new, more revealing ways. Combining critical thinking skills, pedagogically rich visuals, and the seminal work in the field of American politics, this trusted text is ideal for students who want to take an active part in their communities and government.
