This lively book is intended to show what state and local governments actually do and especially how their role in American public life has grown over the past twenty years. Such chapters as "Capitol City Players: Everyday Politics in the States" make this material, which often appears dull in competing books, interesting and important. This text is briefer than many texts in this market and is also a paperback.
