Synopsis

The seventh edition maintains the classic format that has made Congress Reconsidered such an effective text for classroom use as well as an effective research tool. The seventeen essays -- thirteen of which are new -- stand out as providing the broadest and most up-to-date discussion of the contemporary Congress that is available in any single volume.
