The U.S. House of Representatives
The third book in the Fundamentals of American Government civics series explores the inner workings of this important part of the legislative branch.

However, Burrell concludes, women have not advanced more quickly because newcomers face difficulties in challenging more experienced candidates and because women are not taking advantage of opportunities to run for office.
The House
The first–ever narrative nonfiction history of the House of Representatives, by the National Book Award–winning historian. Robert Remini, one of the preeminent historians of our times, was chosen by the Library of Congress to write this official – and fascinating – history. Throughout America's history, the House has played a central role in shaping the nation's destiny. In our own time the impeachment hearings of President Clinton and the rise and fall of Newt Gingrich revealed, quite starkly, just how vital the House's constitutional powers remain. Violence, acrimony, triumph, and compromise litter the House's varied and illustrious past. Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, John Randolph,...
