"A good survey text with a bit more of a conceptual approach than
is typical. . . . A text with current student-oriented examples,
but a solid overview of the research."
"I was impressed with the coverage of important issues and the
superb incorporation of recent scholarship. It has been a while
since a textbook made me this excited about the prospect of
teaching a course. The result is a textbook that enlivens the area
of state and local politics and makes it more relevant for
students."
"It provides the most comprehensive coverage of scholarship on
state government and politics that I have ever encountered, along
with very useful vignettes and examples and outstanding historical
perspective on almost every subject covered."
"Rather than settling for a lifeless walk through the mechanics of
government, the authors have written a theoretically informed,
up-to-date treatment of state and local politics. Including
references to the latest research on state politics is not only
long overdue but it makes the text relevant by demonstrating that
the rules of the game matter."
"The writing style is engaging and often witty, making the material
accessible to perhaps even the most apathetic undergraduate."
