"This very informative reference handbook covers the background and history of lobbying and interest groups, the problems and controversies they face, and possible solutions. ......Morgan (law student, Harvard) also present(s) a worldwide perspective on lobbying. They offer a well-written chronology that covers interest group politics and lobbying from 1763 to the present, and biographical sketches featuring major scholars, commentators, interest group founders and leaders, and lobbyists such as Ralph Nader, Cesar Chavez, and Jack Abramoff. ....It also addresses attempts made by Congress to regulate lobbying activities through hearings, legislation, and other official means. A directory of organizations, associations, and agencies is featured, along with a selective bibliography of print and electronic resources related to interest groups, campaign finance, and lobbying. Laid out in a simple, clean manner with concise entries, this work nicely summarizes lobbying and interest group politics in a single, readable volume. (Choice Reviews)
