This is a collection of essays on the presidency. It doesn't look like an interesting book, but many of the pieces are in fact quite interesting. The book covers many different aspects of the presidency, and one can learn a lot merely by reading this book. Although it is definitely an academic book, it is not so dry that it cannot be read by those that are not involved with academics.

The Presidency and the Political Stream is a collection of twenty essays edited by Michael Nelson, who is a professor at Rhodes College. Each chapter explores a different aspect of the relationship between the presidency and the U.S. political system. This book is recommended to serious scholars of the U.S. presidency.

The book was delivered in its described state, however, the shipping took longer than I thought. I would have liked to have the book sooner because of the time of my class starting.

This book was required for a Ph.D. course I'm attending at the University of Alabama. Trust me I do not read these books for fun.

This book is a set of articles which are all on, you guessed it, the presidency and also the executive branch of the US government.

I'm a Poli Sci Ph.D. and I think this is dull, so I would tell everyone to only read this book if you are forced to!
