Congress and the Internet - Brossura

"There is little question that the Internet is having a tremendous impact on Congress and representative democracy in general, so this volume will be a timely contributor to our important national debate over this subject. The book can be used in courses on Congress, media, and technology" — Darrell West, Brown University

"This is ... an incredible volume. It has an outstanding set of authors and some very interesting topics." — Kelly Patterson, Brigham Young University

"... There is a market waiting for this book: graduate and undergraduate students in my courses on Congress have expressed interest in the topic of Congress and the Internet and frustration at the lack of sources! The editors are highly reputable Congress scholars, and I like the fact that they have gathered a group of authors with lots of Hill experience as well as academic training/experience. It looks to be a book of interest, and accessible, to nonacademic as well as academic audiences. " — Christine Day, University of New Orleans
