Book Description
Now in its fourth edition and completely updated, this is the most comprehensive book on constitutional amendments and proposed amendments available. Although only 27 amendments have ever been added to the U.S. Constitution, the last one having been ratified in 1992, throughout American history, members of Congress have introduced more than 11,000 amendments, and countless individuals outside of Congress have advanced their own proposals to revise the Constitution—the wellspring of America's legal, political, and cultural foundations. At a time when calls for a new constitutional convention are on the rise, it is essential for students of political science and history as well as American citizens to understand proposed alternatives. This updated edition of the established standard for high school and college libraries as well as public and law libraries serves as the go-to reference for learning about existing constitutional amendments, proposed amendments, and the issues related to them. An alphabetically arranged two-volume set, it contains more than 500 entries that discuss amendments that have been proposed in Congress from 1789 to the present. It also discusses prominent proposals for extensive constitutional changes introduced outside Congress as well as discussions of major amending issues.

Book Description
The first edition of The Death of Deliberation revealed how the Senate legislates in a contentious environment. Yet it has been unable to legislate in recent years. Since 2013, the Senate has become more dysfunctional and gridlock has increased. The 115th Congress was one of the least productive two-year stretches in the Senate’s history. This second edition of The Death of Deliberation accounts for this dramatic turn of events.

Book Description
It has always been important that my audiences knew how much they were appreciated by me. I mean you could be listening or watching literally hundreds of other shows, but you chose to spend that time with me. I'll never forget that. And it is for that reason I decided to give back to you. You must know the entertainment industry, through its years of analysis, knows everything conceivable about the audience. What you like. What you don't. How much you'll spend and where you'll spend it. They had to know everything there is to know about you to be the most successful they could be in their field. But I've always wondered, How much does the audience actually know about who's doing the entertaining? When I would question my friends, I found it was very little in comparison. This book gives the reader an overview of the entertainment industry. Where it came from. What it's been doing. And where it may be going from here. Some you'll already know. Some you won't. Some will come as no surprise. Some things might shock you. Nonetheless, when you're finished, you'll know more about the entertainment industry and hopefully about your power as the beloved audience.
