The United States Election System
On the Eve of Election 2004, New Reference Shelf Volume Explores the
Workings of an Evolving Institution
New York, New York, August 5th, 2004
 As the
United States embarks on what may be one of the most pivotal
elections in its history, H.W. Wilson today announced publication of
The
United States Election System, an informative new
volume in the publisher's Reference Shelf book series. The United States Election System
offers in-depth examination of the American process of choosing a
president: steps the nation has taken through remarkably enduring
political traditions every four years, since ratification of the
Constitution in 1788.
A source for
students, journalists, and general readers, the volume looks at the
history and framework of the U.S. electoral structure, the dynamics
of the two-party system, the processes of selecting presidential
nominees, and the influence of money on political campaigns.
The United States Election System
is the fourth of six books in The Reference Shelf 2004 series. Three
others in the series, Homeland
Security, U.S.
National Debate Topic 2004-2005: The United Nations, and
The Two Koreas, were
published earlier in 2004. Two others are forthcoming: The Car and Its Future
and Representative American
Speeches 2003-2004. Libraries that order the complete
6-volume set receive a substantial discount.
Each book in The
Reference Shelf series offers extensive exploration of a current
topic of importance in modern society, in a compilation of notable
articles from respected publications, plus abstracts of 20 to 30
additional articles and a bibliography of other sources. Reference
Shelf volumes provide a well-rounded, non-biased overview for
researchers and general readers. The Reference Shelf 2003 included
The American Family,
Intellectual Property,
The Muslim World, Urban Planning, Warfare in the 21st Century,
and Representative American
Speeches 2002-2003.
Review copies of
Reference
Shelf volumes are available for members of the press.
