Eleanor Clift

Matthew Spieler

A first entry in a new civic series for students outlines the nuts and bolts of the presidential electoral system while drawing on rich historical anecdotes from past campaigns, explaining how they have evolved from 18th-century mechanisms and how today's technologies are impacting elections.

Selecting a President

The third book in the Fundamentals of American Government civics series explores the inner workings of this important part of the legislative branch. As with Selecting a President and The U.S. Senate, this book is written for all audiences, but voiced toward high school seniors and college freshmen-or any citizen interested in a concise yet authoritative exploration of this representative entity. Written by former social policy analyst and political writer Matthew Spieler, this compelling and digestible book carefully examines and explains exactly how the House of Representatives operates. From its voting procedure to historic beginnings and modern day issues, there is no area of this governmental body left un-revealed.
