Teachers!
The American President is a ready reference that
any teacher of American history or American
government will find useful to have. The layout
provides quick access to key facts, e.g, members
of a president's cabinet, personal data,
inaugural addresses, plus both U.S. and world
timelines. Each chapter provides a quick
refresher before a lecture on a topic relevant
to a particular president. |
