Two highly esteemed presidential scholars, Thomas E. Cronin and Michael A. Genovese, explore the complex institution of the American Presidency by presenting a series of paradoxes that shape and define the office. Thoroughly updated and revised to reflect recent political events--from the attacks of 9/11, to the war on terrorism and the controversial eight-year George W. Bush presidency, to the economic meltdown of 2008 and the election of Barack Obama--the third edition incorporates findings from the latest scholarship, the most recent elections and court cases, and relevant survey research.]]> 88238 3.33 15 1 101655 2.93 14 1 2009 6623087 0133621383 9780133621389 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6623087-the-write-stuff 0.0 0 88238 3.33 15 1 1993 5592947 1594514909 9781594514906 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5592947.On_the_Presidency 0.0 0 88238 3.33 15 1 2008 5523560 0316161519 9780316161510 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5523560.Rethinking_the_presidency 0.0 0 88238 3.33 15 1 1982 5081837 0321131924 9780321131928 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5081837.Test_Gen 0.0 0 88238 3.33 15 1 0 3725571 0316161799 9780316161794 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3725571.The_State_of_the_Presidency 0.0 0 88238 3.33 15 1 1980 3710991 0253190177 9780253190178 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3710991.United_States_Versus_Crime_in_the_Streets 0.0 0 88238 3.33 15 1 1981
