About the Author:
MILTON C. CUMMINGS, JR. (Ph.D. Harvard University) is an award-winning educator who received his undergraduate degree from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. After two years of graduate study in England, where he was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, he earned a Ph.D. in political science at Harvard University. Professor Cummings worked for six years at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., where he did research and writing on American government and politics. He then joined the political science faculty at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, where he is currently professor emeritus. At Johns Hopkins he has been honored with numerous awards. These include the George Owen Teaching Award, the Edward H. Griffin Award, and several other citations for outstanding teaching. He has also received fellowships and grants for research from the Social Science Research Council, the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Guggenheim Foundation.
Review:
"I've used just about very text for the introduction to American government course. . . . The clarity, style, content, and pedagogy of DEMOCRACY UNDER PRESSURE ranks with the best of them--especially the grace of writing. It is far livelier than one usually finds in such a text."
"The key factor why I decided to adopt past and present editions of Cummings and Wise was its readability. . . Other strengths are its stronger institutional chapters and its reliance on systems theory which I view as the best way to explain American politics. . . ."
"I really like the 'American Past' boxes. They are relevant, interesting, sometimes humorous, and always thought-provoking."
