The Contemporary Congress by Burdett A Loomis University Of Kansas
The Contemporary Congress offers a clear and concise introduction to legislative processes, from defining congressional structures and rules to analyzing presidential-congressional relations. By integrating academic studies—both modern and classic—with the actual politics of Capitol Hill, The Contemporary Congress presents students with a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of policymaking in the U.S. Congress.
Burdett A. Loomis is Professor of political science at the University of Kansas. Aside from teaching courses on congressional politics, interest groups, and policy making, Loomis directs internship programs in Washington and Topeka. He has written on a variety of topics, including Congress, interest groups, state legislatures, and public policy, and he currently serves as coeditor of Interest Groups and Advocacy. Wendy J. Schiller is Professor of political science at Brown University. She served on the staffs of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Governor Mario Cuomo, and completed Fellowships at the Brookings Institution and Princeton University.
