Reviews

A groundbreaking book that applies a relatively new analytical technique to map the underlying political values of the American public and to demonstrate how these values shape candidate choice in recent presidential elections. It is substantively significant, methodologically sophisticated, and theoretically rich. -- Edward G. Carmines, Indiana University
An excellent book mapping the state of political opinion and its relation to voting in the United States.
-- Hans Noel, Georgetown University
