Product description...

The Essential Field Guide to Understanding Today’s United States of America

Everyone in today’s globalized world needs to understand at least two countries, their own—and the United States. This comprehensive, easy-to-read, objective and cutting-edge survey reveals what you have to know about the world’s superpower—from what Americans think about the most pressing issues to insights about the nation’s problematic future. Discover new thinking on topics that will challenge preconceived notions about the U.S., including: The current status of minority relations and the issues facing women; The truth about violence in America—and how a wave of reform has led to a sharp decline in the country’s murder rate; What Americans really believe about abortion, gay rights, and other hot-button issues, and what trends are affecting current sentiment; How much power religion actually wields over American cultural and political life, including an in-depth discussion of contemporary Christian fundamentalism; The state of the U.S. Constitution and the continuing battles following controversial anti-terror legislation passed after 9/11; Much, much more. Perfect for anyone studying the United States, The American Panorama goes beyond the usual syllabus to celebrate movies and musicals, baseball and books, offering up a rich picture of why countless millions around the world still admire America. Meticulously researched, The American Panorama is enriched with factfiles, case studies, study questions, and ample pointers to further sources.
