Baum (political science, Ohio State U.) provides an introductory text on the Supreme Court for students. Meant to serve as a short but comprehensive guide, it focuses on the present-day, including some historical context. Following an introduction to the Court, the book describes justices' selection, background, and careers; how cases reach the Court or are selected for hearing; decision making and influences on it; major issues, policies, and the effects of activism; how other government policymakers respond to its decisions; and its impact on American society. This edition has been updated to reflect recent developments, such as new appointments and recent scholarship. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
