摘要附注:

The ninth edition of this respected textbook provides a fresh perspective and a crisp introduction to congressional politics. informed by the authors' capitol hill experience and scholarship, the new edition reflects changes resulting from the november 2014 elections and such developments as (a) a new majority party in the senate, (b) new campaign spending numbers and election outcomes, rules, committees, leaders, and budget developments, and (c) recent political science literature that provides new perspectives on the institution. the text emphasizes the importance of a strong legislature and has discussion questions and further reading. alongside clear explanations of congressional rules and the law-making process there are examples from contemporary events and debates that highlight congress as a group of politicians as well as a law-making body.
