Congress and Its Members - Tapa blanda

Críticas

“Congress and Its Members is the gold standard for textbooks on the U.S. Congress. This is evident from its long life, the scholarly caliber of the authors, and the wide and timely coverage it brings to topics."

“Davidson, Oleszek, Lee, and Schickler have clearly taken great effort to ensure the book is as thorough as possible in its coverage of the legislative branch. There seems to be no question about Congress whose answer cannot be found in the pages of Congress and Its Members.”

“I am familiar with all the standard Congress textbooks on the market. The authors of this textbook are in my estimation among the best scholars and researchers in the field. They have produced a superior product.”

The gold standard for Congress courses for over 30 years

Congress and Its Members, Sixteenth Edition, by Roger H. Davidson, Walter J. Oleszek, Frances E. Lee, and Eric Schickler, offers readers current, comprehensive coverage of Congress and the legislative process by examining the tension between Congress as a lawmaking institution and as a collection of politicians constantly seeking re-election.

The Sixteenth Edition of this best-selling text considers the 2016 elections and discusses the agenda of the new Congress, White House–Capitol Hill relations, party and committee leadership changes, judicial appointments, and partisan polarization, as well as covering changes to budgeting, campaign finance, lobbying, public attitudes about Congress, reapportionment, rules, and procedures. Always balancing great scholarship with currency, the best-seller features lively case material along with relevant data, charts, exhibits, maps, and photos.
