"This top-to-bottom update and revision make this edition of this classic work better than ever. Even if you have a prior edition, you will want this new one. Essential tool to the Central American region for newcomers and old timers alike." —Mitchell A. Seligson, Research Professor of Political Science, Vanderbilt University
"Understanding Central America remains the best and most comprehensive treatment of this important sub-region of Latin America. The 7th edition is thoroughly revised with significant new material on each country, and does an excellent job capturing the impact of recent events on the state of democracy in Central America. Booth, Wade & Walker employ theoretically grounded and empirically rigorous analysis with clear prose that helps readers fully understand the history, politics and society of the sub-region. Understanding Central America is ideal for students and scholars needing a rigorous but yet accessible examination of Central America." —Orlando J. Pérez, Dean and Professor of Political Science, University of North Texas at Dallas

"If&#160;Alice in Wonderland, Brown Girl Dreaming, the Wizard of Oz&#160;were&#160;overlayed with&#160;racial violence, integration, and racial identity circa 1950 to 2021, there would be&#160;Beatrice and Croc Harry--&#160;a journey of epic proportions.&#160;Told in vibrant language about an&#160;intelligent, assertive but amnesic girl,&#160;the novel follows&#160;Beatrice&#160;through the Magical Argilia Forest&#160;as she, with the help of an overbearing crocodile,&#160;pieces together clues that hint to her origins and lead her home.&#160;This story has a familiar yet&#160;endearing&#160;quality that harkens back to children&#8217;s literature from the turn of the century."

A Novel

The Balance Project

Discrete Event Simulation for Health Technology Assessment

In an era of shoddy and shallow political polls, there is one gold standard: the National Election Surveys from the University of Michigan. One of the nation's premier analysts of public opinion, David RePass, has found in their treasure trove of contemporary and historical data, innovative and penetrating ways of using voters' own words to understand their motivations and election choices. Listening to the American Voter will go alongside the classic The American Voter as essential reading for all who study, do research and write about American elections and voters.

Norman Ornstein, Resident Scholar, The American Enterprise Institute

David RePass recognizes that the key to understanding voting is paying attention to how voters think about the election. Thus, in Listening to the American Voter, he uses the open-ended comments of ANES respondents to develop a model for measuring the importance of the attitudes that voters had in mind when making their decisions.　 RePass’s creative examination of presidential voting yields significant new analysis of the 2016 election as well as fresh insights into the dynamics of elections past and future.

Herbert Weisberg, Ohio State University (Emeritus)
This work is a cornucopia of fresh, striking insights about how voters choose their presidential candidates.　 Employing quality data and several creative analytical techniques, RePass discovers the four key factors shaping presidential voting decisions: attitudes toward the major party candidates, issue concerns of the moment and party identification. Anyone seeking an explanation of presidential election results from 1960 through 2016 should read this book. 

Steven Schier, Carleton College　　
Contemporary political behavior researchers have largely ignored a huge trove of data on the beliefs and preferences of the American public, namely, the vast reserve of answers to the open-ended survey questions in the American National Election Studies. Rather than force voters to shoehorn their positions and evaluations into fixed response categories, the open-ended questions allow them to respond in their own words. RePass carefully analyzes these data, showing what things mattered and how their importance varied over different elections, sometimes contradicting previous interpretations along the way. I hope that this welcome effort will motivate younger researchers to turn their attention to this too long ignored collection of data.
