The  Almanac of American Politics 2002
by Michael Barone, et al (Paperback - August 2001)
Usually ships in 24 hours

From the Publisher
The Almanac of American Politics 2002, published by the National Journal Group (which also publishes the weekly political newsmagazine National Journal), is a must-have for every political junkie. Its  1,856 pages are filled with information about the 50 governors of the United States and every member of Congress--including their committee assignments, by  what percentage of the vote they won their seats, and how much money they spent  doing it. Organized alphabetically by state, the book examines all 435 congressional districts, including their population, racial makeup, median  income, and median house value, but one of its most prominent features is its  quirky descriptions of each district's history. You'll learn in these pages, for example, that Pez candy is made in Orange, Connecticut, and that one of  Wisconsin`s districts is inhabited by more cows than people.

Published continually since 1863, The Statesman's  Yearbook has uniquely documented the changes of the world during its most turbulent century.

To face the challenge of  reporting a new century, new features include: specifically commissioned essays from major political and academic figures focusing on topical issues and countries; a foldout color section that provides a political world map for quick  and easy reference and a flag illustration for the 192 countries of the world;  the international organizations section has been extended and offers highly detailed account of every important international association. Each country's  key historical events section has been expanded and made more comprehensive.
