The Macropolitics of Congress
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 29.95How do public laws, treaties, Senate confirmations, and other legislative achievements help us to gain insight into how our governmental system performs? This well-argued book edited by Scott Adler and John Lapinski is the first to assess our political institutions by looking at what the authors refer to as legislative accomplishment. The book moves... more...
Congress Behaving Badly
Greenwood Publishing Group 2008; US$ 45.00The climate of partisanship and incivility in Congress has steadily worsened since the 1980s. Polarization between congressional factions now paralyzes the legislative process and hobbles democracy. more...
The Senate
Infobase Publishing 2007; US$ 30.00The story of the United States Senate is more than the description of the powers assigned to the upper house of Congress. This work shows how these powers are considerable, including the making of laws to govern the United States in partnership with the House of Representatives. more...
Legislative Learning
Taylor and Francis 2012; US$ 44.95Barnett shows how political environments can produce legislators who place a premium on their policy-making goals through a nuanced exploration of factors undergirding member perceptions, policy ambitions, class cohesion, and legislative learning. more...
The Almanac of American Politics 2012
University of Chicago Press 2011; US$ 51.00No matter how you voted in the 2010 election, both Democrats and Republicans can agree that there is one indispensable guide to people, politics, and power in Washington.

Lobbying and Policy Change
University of Chicago Press 2009; US$ 24.00During the 2008 election season, politicians from both sides of the aisle promised to rid government of lobbyists’ undue influence. For the authors of Lobbying and Policy Change , the most extensive study ever done on the topic, these promises ring hollow—not because politicians fail to keep them but because lobbies are far less influential... more...
Basic Interests
Princeton University Press 1998; US$ 35.00A generation ago, scholars saw interest groups as the single most important element in the American political system. Today, political scientists are more likely to see groups as a marginal influence compared to institutions such as Congress, the presidency, and the judiciary. Frank Baumgartner and Beth Leech show that scholars have veered from one... more...
Declaration of Independence
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2013; US$ 17.00The Declaration of Independence Carl L. Becker's important study is an analysis of the concepts expressed in the Declaration. Here is a lucid explanation of what the Declaration really is, what views it sets forth, where those views arose, and how they have been accepted or modified by succeeding generations. A book that every American should read. more...
The Classical Foundations of the American Constitution
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 38.00This book offers fresh insights on how the framers and ratifiers of the Constitution were influenced by classical political theory and ancient history. more...
The Social and the Symbolic
SAGE India 2007; US$ 35.95This book argues that communication – an exchange of symbols – is the essence of society and that this exchange is the foundation on which the human collective is based. It explores how the collective sense of the self is defined either with reference to, or in defiance of, dominant existing traditions. The various essays highlight the links... more...
