Vote DK Eyewitness Books

Edición de la obra Vote

This addition to the Eyewitness series for 9 year olds and upwards takes readers on an exciting journey through history to see the rise of democracy – from Ancient Greece and the American Revolution to suffragettes, Civil Rights, and the end of apartheid in South Africa. See people power in action today in every walk of life – from an election in India (the world's largest democracy) to popes, pop idols, and opinion polls. Look behind the scenes at the institutions and mechanics of democracy – from party manifestos and parliamentary debates to secret ballots and hanging chads. In an age of increasing voter apathy in some countries but violent struggles for the right to vote in others, this is a brilliantly vivid and accessible introduction to why every vote matters.
