Description

Each pair of readings features an introduction with a list of Points to Ponder which introduces students to the issues they'll encounter as they read, and ends with a conclusion entitled The Continuing Debate.
Trade ReviewThe authors of this informative book have compiled an interesting collection of excerpts....The authors are to be commended not only for coming up with an innovative idea but for compiling an informative collection of excerpts that clearly reveal the differences between liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans. * The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare, December 2008 *
The use of original narratives from each side of these value-laden legislative debates makes this book useful...as a supplement to most policy textbooks on the undergraduate or graduate levels. Recommended. * CHOICE, April 2008 *
