Written and extensively updated by an author team who knows (and is obsessed with) California politics, each chapter presents and analyzes the issues and election results that will shape the state's future--and students' lives. "Who Are Californians?" infographics explore these important topics in greater detail, teaching students graphic literacy and critical thinking skills, while California and the Nation boxes highlight key issues on justice, equality, and inclusion. Together with InQuizitive, this book provides students with all the tools they need to master the basics and think critically about California's past, present, and future.
