The feel-good place to buy books
Critical Elections and Congressional Policy Making by David W Brady
This book argues that, despite the scholarly emphasis on 20th-century congressional history, it is necessary to study the nation's first 150 years in order to understand more fully the evolution and functioning of the modern Congress-a time when parties emerged, developed, realigned, and dissapeared; Congressional standing rules changed; the workload of Congress increased dramatically; and both houses grew greatly in size.
David W. Brady is Bowen H. and Janice Arthur McCoy Professor of Political Science and Leadership Values at Stanford University. His books include Revolving Gridlock (1998), Critical Elections in the U.S. House of Representatives (Stanford, 1988), and Party, Process, and Political Change in Congress (Stanford, 2002). Mathew D. McCubbins is Professor of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego. His books include The Logic of Delegation, Legislative Leviathan, and Party, Process, and Political Change in Congress (Stanford, 2002).
