A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Presidents and the American Presidency engages students in the study of the presidency through an exploration of both the political institution and the men who have held the office. Considering both the strengths and the weaknesses of the office, authors Lori Cox Han and Diane J. Heith move beyond purely theoretical analysis to examine the real-life, day-to-day responsibilities and challenges that go with the job. FEATURES: * Incorporates archival documents from multiple administrations--in a "Then and Now" format--that reveal the inner workings of the White House and animate the discussions from the perspective of the presidents and other political actors * Offers extensive coverage of methodology, teaching students how to analyze the institution * Develops critical-thinking skills by integrating both institutional and president-centered approaches * Includes an in-depth discussion of campaign finance as an essential part of electing presidents

Revue de presse :

This full-coverage introductory text gives students the ability to evaluate the individual and the institution by learning the importance of evaluating critical primary source materials. (Victoria A. Farrar-Myers, The University of Texas at Arlington)

This book is global in its topical coverage and unique due to the archive materials from actual presidencies, which bring the institution to life. (Glen Krutz, The University of Oklahoma)

A thorough and in-depth examination of the presidency and American presidents and very suitable to either an undergraduate or graduate course on the presidency. (Jonathan Day, Western Illinois University)
