Paperback. Zustand: Good. A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist, Nonfiction Named a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review and The Washington Post Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, The Boston Globe, and Kirkus Reviews (Best Nonfiction) Countless books have been written about the civil rights movement, but far less attention has been paid to what happened after the dramatic passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 and the turbulent forces it unleashed. In this groundbreaking narrative history, Ari Berman charts both the transformation of American democracy under the VRA and the counterrevolution that has sought to limit it from the moment the act was signed into law. The VRA is widely regarded as the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement, and yet--more than fifty years later--the battles over race, representation, and political power continue, as lawmakers devise new strategies to keep minorities out of the voting booth, while the Supreme Court has declared a key part of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional. Through meticulous research, in-depth interviews, and incisive on-the-ground reporting, Give Us the Ballot offers the first comprehensive history of its kind, and provides new insight into one of the most vital political and civil rights issues of our time.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Congressmen's Voting Decisions, now in its third edition, is a classic, influential analysis of how members of the U.S. House of Representatives decide how to vote. Drawing on extensive, in-depth interviews with legislators, staff, lobbyists, and other actors in the policymaking process, John W. Kingdon moves beyond abstract theories to examine the real-world influences and rules of thumb that guide floor voting.Combining statistical analysis with qualitative fieldwork, Kingdon identifies and clarifies the roles played by various actors--including constituents, fellow congressmen, party and committee leaders, interest groups, the administration, staff, and the mass media. He argues that, far from being dominated by one factor, legislative decision-making is nuanced and adaptive, with members weighing information sources, constituency expectations, interpersonal cues, and their own policy attitudes. The book explores the pressures of modern congressional service, the rise of decentralized power through subcommittees and increased staff, and the evolving impact of campaign finance and party polarization.Revised to reflect key changes in the institution from the 1970s through the 1980s--including the rise of single-issue advocacy, institutional reforms, and the impact of divided government--this edition offers readers a rich framework for understanding both enduring patterns and contemporary developments in legislative behavior.Essential reading for students of American politics, political scientists, and informed citizens, Congressmen's Voting Decisions remains a foundational work for anyone interested in what truly shapes the decisions in America's legislative branch.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. God intended the Bible to give guidance to every area of life?including how governments should function.Derived from Wayne Grudem's Politics According to the Bible, this book highlights those economic and foreign-policy issues that have dominated political debate recently and is a must-read for any Christian concerned about current debates over:Economic issues and taxation.The size and role of government.The best way forward out of a recession.Relationships to other nations. Throughout, Wayne Grudem?author of the bestselling Systematic Theology?supports political positions that would be called more "conservative" than "liberal." However, "it is important to understand that I see these positions as flowing out of the Bible's teachings rather than positions I hold prior to, or independently of, those biblical teachings," he writes. "My primary purpose in the book is not to be liberal or conservative, or Democrat or Republican, but to explain a biblical worldview and a biblical perspective on issues of politics, law, and government."Not every reader will agree with the book's conclusions. But by grounding his analysis deeply on Scripture, Grudem has equipped Christians to better understand and respond to some of today's key political debates wisely and in a manner consistent with their primary citizenship as members and ambassadors of the kingdom of God.…
