Gary C. Jacobson Boeken

Focusing on congressional elections, this comprehensive introduction details the dynamics of candidates, campaigns, and voter behavior, especially in light of recent electoral trends. The tenth edition analyzes the Trump presidency's influence on the 2018 midterms, emphasizing the surge of female candidates and significant campaign financing. It also explores the referendum narrative tied to the Trump administration's actions. By integrating historical data and original research, the book equips students with essential tools for understanding representation and their involvement in the electoral process.

Jacobson draws on survey data from the past seven administrations to show that the expansion of the executive branch in the twentieth century that gave presidents a greater role in national government also gave them an enlarged public presence, magnifying their role as the parties' public voice and face.

Focusing on the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, this work examines public perceptions of the mob, Trump's role, and the subsequent House investigations. It situates these events within the larger landscape of contemporary American politics, exploring their implications for the 2022 elections, the Republican coalition, and increasing polarization. The analysis also addresses Trump's legal challenges and the potential impact on the 2024 electoral landscape, considering the long-term health of American democracy in light of these developments.

Excerpt from Our American Artists In our time there are many artists in Europe who have studied the forms and habits of animals, especially the horse and the dog. Many oi' the readers of this volume are doubtless familiar with the horses of Schreyer, the German painter, and Herring the Englishman, and the noble dogs and sheep and deer of Sir Edwin Landseer, who made the animals he painted seem so human that they excite our sympathy or mirth as if they were like ourselves.
