Revel for American Government: Roots and Reform, 2016 Presidential Election Edition -- Access Card (13th Edition)

The Summer 2017 Revel™ Re-release of American Government: Roots and Reform includes the following changes:

• NEW Current Event Bulletins draw examples from the early days of the Trump presidency to contextualize recent events in American government for students and to highlight information that is most relevant to their lives. New CEB articles include topics such as “What Is the Relationship Between Reality, Fake News, Partisanship, and a Changing Media Environment?” and “What Does It Mean to Serve at the Pleasure of the President?”
• NEW photos and videos illustrate the changes that occurred within the first one hundred days of the presidency. New imagery includes Sally Q. Yates testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee and Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation hearings; new videos include “What Do Congressional Elections Tell Us about National Politics?” and “How Can the President and Congress Work Together?” and more.
• UPDATED interactive figures include the latest data and analysis. For example, Figure 6.1 “How Well Does the House of Representatives Reflect the American People?” now shows numbers from the 115^th Congress (instead of the 114^th) and Figures 12.5 and 12.6 on campaign financing include the final dollar amounts from the 2016 election.
• Examples of NEW narrative content include a chapter-opener for Chapter 12 about Donald Trump’s victory in the context of the Electoral College, analysis of 2016 voter turnout as it relates to income and education, President Trump’s Executive Order banning immigrants from seven Muslim nations, his appointment of Justice Neil Gorsuch, his dismissal of ninety-four U.S. Attorneys, and his stance on treaties such as NAFTA, as well as his recent foreign policy moves.
• NEW LiveSlide dynamic lecture slides include every data visualization and interactive map within your Revel course, giving you a direct path to all the Social Explorers.

Revel™ American Government: Roots and Reform helps students view the issues facing the United States today through an historical lens.

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.
