Artfully balancing the historical foundations of the office with analysis of the increasingly political nature of the presidency, Pika and Maltese assess the institution, the individuals who have served, the president's interactions with the public and governing elites, and the chief executive's impact on public policy. Offering students the best of both worlds, this comprehensive text offers historical examples and context throughout, while weaving new scholarship and balanced coverage of the current Bush administration into every chapter, making The Politics of the Presidency the most current presidency text on the market.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good overview of the changing face of the Am. Presidency,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Politics of the Presidency (Paperback)
I have this book as a text for a political science class I'm taking at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Though a bit pricey at $40, I truly find this a solid read. It should be appropriate for all levels of reader, though it seems to be geared towards those with at least basic knowledge of the American political system.

This review is from: The Politics of the Presidency (Paperback)
I bought this book for class. It turned out to be really informative a/b the passed presidents. May probably be moot now that we have a new president, but it's nice to know what the previous presidents did
