Congress and Its Members - Tapa blanda

Now in its 20th year, this textbook is aimed at students and is full of examples, graphics and anecdotes, bringing to life Congress, its people and its processes.

Proven and compelling, the book's core theme--the tension between Congress as a lawmaking institution and Congress as a collection of re-election-minded politicians--gives students a powerful way to understand Congress and the legislative process. Davidson and Oleszek use colorful and often witty examples, noteworthy quotations, telling cases, memorable photos, and helpful tables and figures, wrapping their strong narrative around this tightly organized conceptual framework. Every chapter features new analysis and the most recent and important scholarship.
