<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><strong>The American Presidency</strong> examines the constitutional foundation of the executive office and the social, economic, political, and international forces that have reshaped it. Authors Sidney M. Milkis and Michael Nelson broadly examine the influence of each president, focusing on how these leaders have sought to navigate the complex and ever-changing terrain of the executive office and revealing the major developments that launched the modern presidency at the dawn of the twentieth century. By connecting presidential conduct to the defining eras of American history and the larger context of politics and government in the United States, this award-winning book offers vital perspective and insight on the limitations and possibilities of presidential power. The <strong>Eighth Edition </strong>examines recent events and developments including the latter part of the Obama presidency, the 2016 election, the first twenty months of the Trump presidency, and updated coverage of issues involving race and the presidency.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I always recommend this book. The historical approach with its inclusion of the how the presidency has changed as an institution is unique."--Kenneth R. Stevens<br><br>"I would describe the book's approach as historical and comprehensive; thorough but not intimidating for an undergraduate, introductory course."--Ted Ritter<br><br>"Milkis and Nelson provide the gold standard for a political development approach to the American presidency."--Jasmine Farrier<br><br>"The American Presidency is a comprehensive view of the institutional development of the presidency. It provides a compelling narrative for the constitutional impetuses, debates, and interpretations for the presidency and how they persist and change throughout the 19th and early 20th century as well as apply to the presidential politics since FDR."--Jeffrey W. Ladewig<br><br>"This textbook uses an outstanding political historical approach to understand the constitutional basis of the American presidency, key features of each president's term/s and tenure, and broad trends in relationships between historical and modern presidents and Congress, and changing domestic and foreign policy issues and topics."--Michael Petersen<br>
