Herrnson Description: Provides a balanced, thematic approach Praised for successfully combining solid empirical research with real world politics, Congressional Elections provides a systematic assessment of the campaign process. The book is unique in being informed by political insiders and also in its conclusion that most successful congressional candidates actually run two campaigns. One campaign is conducted in the district or state in a battle for votes; the other takes place in Washington with candidates bidding for the support and resources of party committees, PACs, and major contributors. These dual strategies affect who wins individual races, and representation in Congress more broadly. Incorporates exhaustive research and in-depth, systematic analysis Using campaign data, original survey research, and interviews with more than 800 House and Senate candidates and other political insiders, Herrnson systematically analyzes campaign activities and strategies of the candidates, parties, and PACs that participated in every congressional election between 1992 and 1998. Case studies of 60 individual campaigns provide concrete illustrations. Herrnson also examines recent developments in congressional elections such as soft money and both party and interest group advocacy advertising. More details available here                            Insider's Guide to Finding a Job in Washington : Contacts and Strategies to Build Your Career in Public Policy by Bruce Maxwell For the Washington job-seeker who wants to make an impact in public policy, here's how to get that first job, internship, or make that lateral move to help launch one's career.

Not the least of those reasons is that the Internet will play a huge and unprecedented role in determining the outcome. How to Track Politics on the Internet is a roadmap for any voter with a computer and a modem to follow the epic battle that begins in earnest in the fall of 1999. Bruce Maxwell, author of several acclaimed books on using the Internet to get the information readers need, has surveyed dozens of sites that citizens can turn to for information and opinion about the 2000 elections. He reports his findings in the first-ever volume on the newest way to follow and influence political issues. But How to Track Politics on the Internet is more than just an election year volume. The book will be valuable long after the new president and Congress are elected because Bruce Maxwell tracks and explains the array of sites available for issue information such as the economy, foreign affairs, civil rights, and many others that active and concerned citizens will turn to as they follow the work of the successful candidates. Anyone who has tried to find political information on the Internet knows how the body of data and opinion available is overwhelming. Maxwell helps to focus that information and guide searches by showing readers exactly where to look for the most common kinds of specific political information.     Media Power in Politics  by Doris A. Graber Description: A great deal of literature on media power is continuously published, and students often find difficult to sort through it and make sense of it all. Editor Doris A. Graber has culled through and selected the best of this burgeoning literature. Reflecting the most thought-provoking and recent scholarship about traditional and "new" media, Media Power in Politics analyzes mass media effects on the American political system. Thirty-six selections-sixteen of them new-represent the work of nationally and internationally recognized scholars and media professionals and mirror the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Among the topics receiving or extended coverage in this edition are political advertising, campaigning on the Internet, the 1996 Telecommunications Act, political marketing, and ethical reporting dilemmas. Readings are divided into six parts, each covering an important facet of American politics. Part I deals with mass media effects in general. Parts II through V explore the influence of mass media on political opinion and preferences, on presidential and congressional elections, on participants within and outside the political power structure, and on the formation and implementation of domestic and foreign policies. Part VI examines private and public efforts in the United States and abroad to control the impact of mass media and to shape media offerings. Graber provides introductions to each part and headnotes for each selection. Unlike most comparable readers, Media Power contains an index that facilitates locating specific information throughout the selections   More details available here
