Responding to the need for a more meaningful study of American government, Prentice Hall proudly presents this new Teaching and Learning Classroom (T.L.C.) Edition. Building on a long tradition of clear and accessible writing, sound scholarship, and currency set forth in the authors' comprehensive Government by the People text, this T.L.C. Edition offers the most visually appealing presentation of politics students will use-in the classroom, in society, and in life. This text is designed around the premise that students will read-get involved-and participate in politics so personal, it's as passionate as it is powerful.
