Summary

Participate in your American government
Revel™ Living Democracy shows students how American government impacts their daily lives, and helps them recognize how they can make a difference in what that government does. Using a writing style that is clear and accessible, authors Daniel Shea, Joanne Connor Green, and Christopher Smith draw readers into the subject matter by offering resonant anecdotes and illustrations, and by localizing politics whenever possible. In order to boost student engagement with key concepts, the 2016 Presidential Election Edition incorporates coverage of contemporary issues that dominate today’s headlines, as well as the most up-to-date data.

Revel is Pearson’s newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience – for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.
 
NOTE: This Revel Combo Access pack includes a Revel access code plus a loose-leaf print reference (delivered by mail) to complement your Revel experience. In addition to this access code, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.
