A refreshing reformulation of teaching students about local politics and government. The organization of the book balances theory and application in presenting the key information to students. Adopt this book.--Geoffrey Willbanks, University of Texas at Tyler At last! A pitch-perfect urban politics text for undergraduates. It neither cannibalizes articles or books, nor reads like an extended literature review. I look forward to teaching with it.--Michael Leo Owens, Emory University Krebs and Fleischmann have produced a timely, empirical examination of city politics in the Twenty-first Century. Their approach to studying cities through the central roles of individuals, groups and institutions is one of the most compelling and interesting presentations of urban politics to come along in decades. Students will become engaged with their cities through the unique and fascinating political framework of this book. --John Pelissero, professor of political science, Loyola University Chicago
