Encyclopedia of American Public Policy

"The Encyclopedia of American Public Policy cuts through the complexities of this vast and often ill understood subject by mapping it into major subject areas and presenting concise and readable A-to-Z entries within each of these areas: Key Concepts, Agriculture, Civil Rights, Commerce and Transportation, Communications, Crime, Economics, Education, Energy, Entitlement Programs, Environment, Health, Housing, and Labor."--BOOK JACKET. "Entries within each section cover the most significant actors, legislation, and milestones, offering both historical context and up-to-date discussions of legislation in major policy areas. The volume's easily navigated organizational scheme benefits both students and others who are pursuing specific areas, as well as browsers, who need only turn to the contents page for an instant subject overview. Readers will also find an introductory essay tracing policy eras in American history, a handy chronology at the opening of each subject section, a comprehensive bibliography pointing to works for further reading, and an index."--BOOK JACKET.
