Details: This refreshed and dynamic Seventh Edition of Keeping the Republic, Briefrevitalizes the twin themes of power and citizenship by adding to the imperative for students to navigate competing political narratives about who should get what, and how they should get it. The exploding possibilities of the digital age make this task all the more urgent and complex. Carefully condensed from the full version by authors Christine Barbour and Gerald C. Wright, this Brief Edition continues to meet students where they are in order to give them a sophisticated understanding of American politics and teach them the skills to think critically about it. It provides all the continuity and crucial content in a more concise, value-priced package, and has been refocused to look not just at power and citizenship but at the role that control of information and its savvy consumption play in keeping the republic. Analysis of the 2016 elections is throughout the book, plus many instances of features such as "What’s at Stake?", "Profiles in Citizenship", and "Snapshots of America" are all new; the others have been updated to reflect the latest information and data, especially given the unprecedented 2016 campaigns. Nearly half of the stunning infographics have been re-imagined to improve interpretation. End of chapter materials have been streamlined, with "Engage" and "Explore" sections now available only online. New digital resources offer curated, relevant AP news videos and SAGE original videos on foundational concepts and processes―with assignable, multiple choice assessment questions that are automatically graded through your learning management system. These are identified in the Review section at the end of each chapter. A new Coursepack allows instructors to easily integrate the text’s content into their own learning management system, and new data exercises and videos give students even more opportunities to thoroughly understand core concepts. The text is also available as an Interactive eBook―and is $5 when bundled with the print version of the new edition!
