This concise guide provides basic information on California conditions and governance, including the history of political and economic involvement, issues raised by political parties and direct (perhaps too direct) democracy, campaigns and candidates and the media's fix on the voters, interest groups and their real power, the legislature and the perils of policy making, the courts and politics, the executive branch and fragmentation, budgetary policies and politics, local government, and the chaos-cooperation of state-federal relations. Includes very helpful charts and maps. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
