Booklist - 11/01/2022 The Choosing Democracy series (4 titles) examines the important topic of democracy from a variety of angles. Democracy and Other Forms of Government focuses primarily on how democracy looks and operates in different countries (the U.S., Canada, Switzerland, the UK, and more), while also devoting a chapter to flawed democracies and autocracies. Stock photos and historical artwork mix with charts and maps to lend visual interest, while case studies provide concrete examples to illuminate each book’s main text. There is some topical overlap among the volumes, but this will help reinforce concepts essential to developing a more nuanced grasp of democracy. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
