From School Library Journal:

Grade 7 Up—A user-friendly revision of the 2003 edition. The mostly one- to three-page entries are written in a lively style, and the many sidebars and illustrations (black-and-white period portraits, photographs, and political cartoons, all with helpful captions) give the volume a new dynamism. Articles, which cover events through early 2008, are arranged alphabetically from "Absentee Voting" to "ZZZ" (a lament on voter indifference), with longer essays such as "Congressional Elections" subdivided by location or theme. The table of contents is detailed, and the closing "Reference Material" includes charts and lists such as election-related Web sites; national party chairs, 1848–2007; Democratic conventions, 1832–2004; and blacks and Hispanics in Congress. This is a great book for an elections unit and a wonderful U.S. election-history resource.—Ivy Miller, Kirby Library, Kingston, PA
