<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>"Any short list of major analyses of Congress must of necessity include David Mayhew's <i>Congress: The Electoral Connection." </i>--Fred Greenstein</b> <p/> In this second edition to a book that has achieved canonical status, David R. Mayhew argues that the principal motivation of legislators is reelection and that the pursuit of this goal affects the way they behave and the way that they make public policy. In a new foreword for this edition, R. Douglas Arnold discusses why the book revolutionized the study of Congress and how it has stood the test of time. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Winner of the <i>Washington Monthly </i>Political<i> </i>Book Award for 1974<br></i> <p/> <br><p>"Any short list of major analyses of Congress must of necessity include David Mayhew's <i>Congress: The Electoral Connection. </i>It is a pleasure to have this aged-in-the cask classic reissued, and the foreword by Arnold and preface by Mayhew are a valuable bonus."--Fred Greenstein</p> <p/>"Mayhew's book on Congress seems to be the best thing on the subject. The interpretation, based as it is on an extraordinary range and depth of scholarship, will compel everyone who writes on Congress in the future in serious fashion - including serious-minded journalists - to take it into account. It simply couldn't be ignored."--Robert A. Dahl <p/>"A classic in legislative studies."--Richard F. Fenno, Jr. <p/><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>David R.
