In Our Own Words: Introduction [LEADER: 45 seconds] Voice: Wadsworth presents IN OUR OWN WORDS, By Kenneth Janda, Jeffrey Berry, and Jerry Goldman, who describe, in their own words, their objectives in writing a textbook on American government. The primary authors for each of the twenty chapters, in turn, tell students the major ideas they tried to convey in writing each chapter. Janda, Berry, and Goldman believe that students will benefit when reading of a given chapter in The Challenge of Democracy from first hearing how an author framed that chapter.
