This core text and review book on American state and local politics provides the background necessary for understanding how subnational governments work. The course is offered by 2/3 of the political science departments of U.S. colleges and is growing in popularity as increasing responsibilities are being thrust upon state and local level governments. The course is usually taken at the sophomore level and up, drawing non-majors as well as majors. Contemporary examples make this book timely but are introduced in such a way that they don't date the book. This concise, reasonably priced paperback should also appeal to general readers.

Rasmussen, Thomas H., Ph.D.

Political Behavior: Patterns in Everyday Life (SAGE Library of Social Research)

`Everyday life′ has a more profound effect on our political behaviour than we may at first think. Peterson explores how certain personal variables can affect political behaviour: stress, health, anxiety about death and sexual abuse and then goes on to place these in the wider but just as influential context of family, religion, employment and the media. This is an important study for anyone interested in political science, psychology and sociology.

The World of the Policy Analyst offers a detailed study of the policy analyst's role in the policymaking process. By stressing the need of the analyst to recognize the political, social, and ideological forces that operate in the policy process while retaining analytical integrity, the authors bring a "real world" awareness to the understanding of the environment in which analysts must function. This edition covers recent efforts to integrate values and analysis, explores the implications of increasing fragmentation in the political system and the growing influence of think tanks at the national and state levels, and identifies the challenges posed by rapid scientific and technological change.
