House and Senate

by Ross K. Baker

The first comprehensive and systematic comparison of the two houses of the U. S. Congress, House and Senate has long been a success in both Congress and American Government courses. In the new Third Edition, Ross Baker once again uses his unique approach―interviews with senators who were formerly members of the House, as well as with journalists, lobbyists, and staff members―to paint a clear and colorful portrait of the two houses, which remain distinct, and often antagonistic, partners.  House and Senate allows students to peek into the hidden corners of Capitol Hill and offers a fascinating insider’s view of the two chambers.

Not only one of my professors while at Rutgers, but a person I consider a friend and advocate of the American system of government. I am nothing less than impressed and appreciative of the work that has gone into this text in its third edition. I would use it without fail when teaching American National Government.
