With an avalanche of scholarship on the House, it can be tough to balance out coverage in a typical Congress course with appropriate readings on the slow institution.

Offering top-notch research geared to an undergraduate audience, Loomis′ new edited volume represents a broad picture of the contemporary Senate and how it came to be. While addressing issues of delay, obstruction, and polarization in a variety of ways, the scholars in this collection are not proposing a reform agenda, but instead, explore the historical and political contexts for how difficult it can be to change a non-majoritarian, highly individualistic institution. Students will come away from these chapters with a much greater appreciation of the Senate′s unique combination of tradition, precedent, and constitutional mandate.
