The Political Reference Almanac, 2001-2002

Quite possibly the most comprehensive political reference book ever assembled, The Political Reference Almanac provides facts and information about politics and governments, both in the U.S. and around the world. This massive undertaking methodically lays out the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. federal government; U.S. state and local governments; political parties; Nations of the world; International Organizations; political documents; economic statistics and the U.S. federal and state budgets; and a political calendar of events. It includes over 800 photographs of U.S. and world leaders and biographic profiles of congressmen, senators, cabinet officials, justices, governors, mayors, and others. Also included are over 240 maps. Not just for the politically involved, it is a must for every reference bookshelf.
