TEXTBOOK<br />
New Directions in Judicial <strong>Politics</strong><br />
edited by Kevin T. McGuire, University of North<br />
Carolina at Chapel Hill, <strong>US</strong>A<br />
Series: New Directions in American <strong>Politics</strong><br />
New Directions in Judicial <strong>Politics</strong> seeks to demystify the<br />
courts, offering students the insights of empirical research to<br />
address questions that are of genuine interest to students. In<br />
addition to presenting a set of conclusions about the way in<br />
which courts operate, this book also models the craft of<br />
political research, illustrating how one can account for a<br />
variety of factors that might affect the courts <strong>and</strong> how they<br />
operate. The renowned scholars <strong>and</strong> teachers in this volume<br />
invite critical thinking, not only about the substance of law<br />
<strong>and</strong> courts in America, but also about the ways in which we study judicial politics.<br />

Wayne Steger<br />
Series: Citizen Guides to <strong>Politics</strong> <strong>and</strong> Public Affairs<br />
The method the United States uses to nominate presidential c<strong>and</strong>idates can<br />
sometimes seem like a media circus, over-hyped <strong>and</strong> overly speculative. Yet the<br />
process is one distinct to American politics, crucial to the way that students <strong>and</strong><br />
citizens comprehend politics <strong>and</strong> participation. This concise <strong>and</strong> coherent Citizen’s<br />
Guide examines the critical issues in presidential nominations <strong>and</strong> how they affect<br />
who we as citizens choose to nominate.<br />
