About the Author:
A professor of Political Science at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette) for twenty years, Herbert M. Levine has written and edited several books, including CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS IN OUR TIMES (Franklin Watts) and four books in the American Issues Debated Series published by Raintree Steck-Vaughn. He is currently a writer who lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
Review:
"The strengths of this approach are obvious--it allows students to begin to see that 'truth' comes in many forms."
"As I consider this book for my class, I am first drawn to it for in-class debates and, potentially, as a starting point for papers. Therefore, I really like the 'hot-button' emphasis."
"I use Levine for a very specific reason. The debates presented in the Levine book bring the relevance of current topics/issues in government 'home' to them."
