Zusammenfassung A Smithsonian book that lets you mix and match the faces and philosophies of your favorite presidents This interactive volume allows people of all ages to gain a new perspective on the American presidency, from George Washington to George W. Bush. Starting with twenty-four portraits of America's favorite commanders in chief, each cut into five sections -- forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, and chin -- the reader can reposition the features to create a wealth of amusing and unique composites. Biographies of the featured leaders, famous quotations reflecting their political views, and a time line of the American presidents make this a useful reference as well as a fun game that will bring hours of enjoyment to anyone who has ever wanted to put a new face on the American presidency.
