"Responding to Benjamin Franklin's answer to "what have you wrought", Barbour and Wright expertly provide an outstanding guide for future citizens learning about governance and most importantly citizenship. A readable, logically developed text on American Government, the authors maintain the central theme of "We the People" - citizenship as the guardians of the great experiment. Interspersed with present-day examples, guided primary source analysis, and variant perspectives, Keeping the Republicis the go-to text for challenging students to think critically about every aspect of their government. Overall, an excellent balance of narrative and analytical materials for the emerging and engaged citizen.", Barbour and Wright's long-standing textbook continually tells the story of American politics in a captivating, fun, and accessible way. I appreciate the detail given to special sections found within each chapter. These include the colorful and descriptive Big Pictureinserts that focus students' attention by displaying foundational concepts including the development of the Constitution, how a bill becomes a law, and the evolution of political parties in an attractive and visual format. The Don't Be Fooled Byfeatures help students to consider important ideas prevalent in today's digitized political world like big data, clickbait, and public opinion polls. Keeping the Republicgets top marks in my class for striking a balance between an approachable narrative and supplemental features that allow for reviewing central themes and ideas. It should be considered by all instructors looking to engage students more fully in their classroom., I have been using Barbour and Wright'sKeeping the Republicin my Introduction to American Politics classes for over a decade, and I will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Keeping the Republicis engaging and approachable, and manages to cover a broad array of complex subjects without watering down the content. I've assigned Barbour and Wright's book in Intro to American Politics courses taught both at a research-oriented university, as well as at a teaching oriented regional university. Even with very different student bodies, it is a fantastic book for introducing students to the fundamentals of American politics, and then opening the door for in-depth class discussions on topics such as the role of mass media in shaping--and driving--public opinion in the United States. As a former attorney, I also appreciate the realistic overview of the day-to-day functioning of the American legal system!, With a focus on critical thinking, analysis, and evaluation, Keeping the Republiccovers the essential topics for an American Politics course by effectively linking history and current events. The What's at Stake?feature at the beginning and end of each chapter tells a story that brings abstract concepts to life so that students can appreciate how many ways our political system directly connects to their lives. Students also learn how to critically evaluate and analyze issues and political processes, as well as assess the actions taken by those in power. There are many texts that explain the fundamental theories and concepts associated with American politics. Keeping the Republicnot only helps students understand the complexity of the American political system, but it also provides the necessary tools for learning how to be active and engaged members of society., In Keeping the Republic, Barbour and Wright present an extremely clear and accessible text for any introductory course on American politics. For the many students who come into the classroom with little preexisting knowledge about how the American political process works or what their place in it is, the text provides them with the core information they need as students and as citizens. The What's at Stake?features in each chapter help students understand why they should care about what they are reading; and how things like Congress, the courts, and political parties affect their lives and how they just may be able to affect politics themselves., I had the pleasure of using Keeping the Republic in the American Government courses I taught at the College of Charleston from the fall of 2017 to the spring of 2019. Within a year of the 2016 presidential election, I was able to present students with a textbook containing detailed election content and weaving election results and data analysis together seamlessly with news reports, interviews, photographs, key political concepts, and historical content. Compelling infographics added legibility to the election data presented and kept students engaged by adding real-world context to traditional coverage of government and politics., "Keeping the Republicis ideal for my political science courses at my university. Its graphics, charts, and infographics are useful for visual learners, the highlighted key expressions and "definition boxes" allow students to learn the terms lexically and to understand them in context, the supplementary lecture slides help students follow lectures and the tests are the best test teaching aid that saves time."
