Published every two years, The Almanac of American Politics is the definitive reference on the people, places and issues that make up the American political landscape.

Authors Michael Barone and Richard E. Cohen mix hard fact and colorful narrative in this unique portrait of the American political system, making The Almanac essential reading both for its in-depth analysis and as an off-the-shelf reference. Called the "Bible of American politics" by George Will, The Almanac has, over the years, established itself as a Washington institution in its own right. It is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the American political scene.

As in previous editions, the 2006 Almanac of American Politics includes profiles of every member of Congress and every governor, as well as in-depth and completely up-to-date narrative profiles of all 50 states and 435 House districts. The 2006 edition will offer an authoritative look at the 2004 presidential and congressional elections, including state-by-state analysis of the demographic, cultural and political factors that led to George W. Bush's re-election and Republican gains in Congress.

Full of maps, census data, and information on topics ranging from campaign expenditures to voting records to interest group ratings, this latest edition of The Almanac of American Politics presents everything you need to know about American politics.
