Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
If you live in the United States, you have a good idea of what a democracy is. However, there are many different kinds of democracy throughout the world. From the Roman republics to American democracy, this type of government has grown and changed for centuries. Readers find out about democracy, which countries use it to govern, and learn some positives and negatives about this type of government. Accessible, "in the news" and relevant subject matter help build a fundamental understanding of this concept. Sidebars, photographs, and captions clarify ideas within the narrative. The conclusion summary chapter reinforces understanding of democracy.
Includes bibliographical references (page 47) and index.
The development of democracy -- How democracy works -- Living in a democracy -- Fighting for democracy -- The future of democracy.
