The American Challenge by Robert Etheredge wins IPPY Bronze Medal Award

MiraVista's The American Challenge just won the IPPY Bronze Medal for Best Adult Non-Fiction eBook

2012-05-17

ORINDA, CA, May 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) The 16th annual "IPPY" Awards will be celebrated on June 4th in New York City on the eve of the annual Book Expo American convention. These awards are designed to bring increased recognition to book titles released by independent publishers. This year over 2,400 authors and publishers entered the contest. The American Challenge from MiraVista Press won the bronze medal in the Best Adult Non-Fiction eBook category.

The American Challenge is an illustrated review of American history, civics, and culture. It is a unique collection of everything that makes America great--famous speeches, poems, and songs; founding documents; information on Presidents and heroes; an illustrated history timeline; maps depicting the growth of states; basic government civics information; Americana; basic economic concepts; care of the American flag; flags of all states; a table of military ranks; and details of all Presidential elections. It is perfect for all Americans...and all those who want to become Americans. Every citizen needs to be better informed about their government and their country, and new immigrants must learn about our common traditions and civic values. The book even includes the official U.S. Citizenship Test.

These points, and so many more, make Etheredge's book a must-read for each citizen, aspiring citizen, visitor, and voter. The American Challenge is just that: a challenge to all Americans to test what they know, learn what they don't, and continue to uphold the legacy of our great nation.
