Reviews
"What I like most about this book is the way it compares to the existing literature on New York politics. It stands, in my opinion, as the best single source of information on New York politics and government currently available. "—Edward Schneier, City College of New York
"This new edition contains several attractive new features. Particularly valuable are the organization of Part I under the theme of political conflict and the additions of chapters on school finance, the State University, the media, and racial politics. "—Howard Scarrow, State University of New York, Stony Brook
