Congress: Games and Strategies, 2eCENGAGE Learning Custom Publishing, 2003 Congress uses an analogy with which we are familiar - games - to help students understand the workings of Congress. In portraying Congress as a game or sport in which players and chosen, trained, find their ways onto teams, and battle in an arena not unlike that of football or basketball, the authors explain Congress in a way many students will find accessible and understandable without belittling the workings of Congress. This is a core text that can be used in any Congress course. |
