The Handbook for Americans,
Revised Edition is an essential reference guide for every American to the
United States and its tradition of freedoms and responsibilities. Now, more
than ever, Americans are faced with economic, environmental and philosophical
challenges that require a strong response. When we ask ourselves, "What
does it mean to be an American? What do we stand for?" we are in fact
casting about for the resources and traditions to enable us to meet today's
challenges. The Handbook for
Americans, Revised Edition features the foundational documents of
our democracy The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of
Rights and provides information every American citizen should know about how
our government works and the balance of powers set forth by the Nation's
founders.
An overview of key moments in America's history, including the long
march toward equal rights, provides inspiration and a valuable historical
perspective. The Handbook for
Americans is a comprehensive resource of the traditions, customs,
and facts every American should know about their country. The Handbook for Americans is a
sourcebook for citizens as we embark into the 21st Century. It is a guide, and
a comfort, for the times ahead and the challenges it may bring. It can help us
to understand where we are going, by mapping out where we've been.
My Opinion: this is a great book for any American rather you
are new to the United States and just became a citizen or you have lived here
your whole life and just need to brush up on the history that you learned in
school and may have forgotten about. I know I forgot about some of my history
and this list all the presidents of the United States which I like and I
learned some things that I may not have known.
