I used this textbook in my law class and found it engaging in some areas, but rather anecdotal and somewhat random in what it covers. Would have preferred a more rigorous and disciplined approach to covering the essentials of budgeting, appropriations, authorizing legislation, lobbying, etc. And the authors are way too naive and respectful of the institution, glossing over how dysfunctional, and fundamentally corrupt Congress now is, since the Supreme Court took a wrecking ball to the whole edifice of limits on campaign finance. The public gives Congress less than a 10% approval rating, and for good reason, though you would never guess that from reading this obsequious book.
Came on time, is in perfect condition. College student is relieved and happy! :)
Great buy and read for school and my profession.
Very happy
I got this book for an fall Political Science class, I only hope that I will like the book as much as l like Political Science.
