Congress and Its Members, 13th Edition
( Incorporating the crucial updates and new research you ...)
Incorporating the crucial updates and new research you expect, the thirteenth edition of Congress and Its Members remains a trusted resource for introducing students to the legislative branch. As thousands of undergraduates have learned, focusing on Congress as not only a legislative body, but also as a group of reelection-minded politicians, is an extraordinarily effective way to understand the institution and the law-making process. In addition to featuring new examples and cases drawn from recent congressional politics including the battles over health care reform, financial regulations, economic stimulus, fiscal management, and tax policy the authors also integrate new scholarship on representation, congressional elections, lobbying influence, and the relationship between Congress and the Court. The thirteenth edition also features analysis of the 2010 congressional campaigns and elections, party and leadership changes for the 112th Congress, executive-legislative relations under President Obama, new procedures in the House and Senate, budgeting in an era of huge deficits, the heightened importance of lobbyists in legislative policymaking, public attitudes about Congress as dysfunctional, even corrupt, and the courts and their impact on the interpretation of congressional statutes, the scope of congressional power, and the reach of statutory campaign finance regulations.

The Postreform Congress
("The Postreform Congress" comprises 15 original essays th...)
"The Postreform Congress" comprises 15 original essays that address different aspects of contemporary legislative politics in America. Written specifically for a student audience, the essays are contributed by policy analysts, presidential and parties scholars, formal theorists and voting analysts. The essays discuss a variety of institutional and policy areas and they illustrate a wide range of methodologies and viewpoints as well. They are, however, unified by a common theme: they all reflect the fact that Congress has changed dramatically since the reform upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s - that, as a result of adapting to the "cut-back politics" of the past decade, Congress now displays heightened partisanship, tighter processing of legislation and stronger leadership. The author is co-author - with Walter J. Oleszek - of "Congress and its Members, Third Edition" and - with Samuel Patterson and Randall Ripley of "A More Perfect Union: An Introduction to American Governments, Fourth Edition", co-editor of "The Encyclopedia of the United States Congress" and author of "The Role of the Congressman".
