Pre-Owned The Congressional Experience (Paperback) 081336812X 9780813368122

This second edition of The Congressional Experience has been revised and updated to cover events that have occurred over the past six years, such as Congressman David Price's own defeat in 1994 and his comeback in 1996, the waxing and waning of the Gingrich "revolution," and the high and low points of the Clinton presidency. In this book, Congressman Price proves he is uniquely qualified to guide us through the labyrinth of rules, roles, and representatives that is Congress, and to show us how the institution can and does solve some of the most pressing social problems on the national political agenda today. Price combines an engaging, enlightening narrative with photos, figures, maps, and tables to tell the story of his odyssey from the ivory tower of Duke University to the citadel of Capitol Hill. Along the way, we get a clear sense of the challenges, disappointments, elation, and deep concerns implicit in serving as a member of Congress--especially the kind of member David Price has chosen to be.Good Condition: Minimal damage to the cover, dust jacket may not be included, minimal wear to binding, most of the pages undamaged(e.g., minimal creases or tears), highlighting / underlining acceptable on books as long as the text is readable and markings are not excessive, no missing pages.
