Praise for New Directions in the American Presidency, 3rd edition
"The latest edition of New Directions in the American Presidency carefully surveys the current state of executive branch politics and contemporary research in this area. Leading scholars describe and analyze the political landscape that chief executives interact with, including Congress, the courts, and the media. This volume informs and engages both new students and seasoned scholars who are seeking a broader understanding about presidential power and leadership."
Mark J. Rozell, George Mason University
"Once again, Lori Cox Han has delivered an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the American presidency. She and the other all-star presidential scholars assembled in this accessible, brief, and insightful volume deliver timely analysis and bring the reader up-to-date on the most current research in the field. As with the previous two editions, this book will again find its way into undergraduate classrooms as well as graduate student reading lists, and researchers will keep it close at hand."
