  In the United States, politics has become increasingly nationalized in recent years as voter decision-making is now driven by partisan or national political forces rather than the attributes of individual candidates. Indeed, voters now seem more concerned with which of the two national parties will be in power across all levels of government as opposed to which candidate will represent them individually. 
   
   
   
  Nationalized Politics asks and answers the question, "how has nationalization influenced elections across different political eras?" Jamie L. Carson, Joel Sievert, and Ryan D. Williamson look at historical variation in nationalization through an analysis of congressional elections from 1840 to 2020. By examining roughly 180 years of elections, the authors leverage considerable differences in electoral competition, electoral rules, nationalization, polarization, and partisan advantage via the incumbency advantage. Moreover, Carson, Sievert, and Williamson employ a unique survey design to capture citizen attitudes toward the nationalization of politics to further consider the question of how nationalization is currently shaping politics. Providing a comprehensive history of US congressional elections, Nationalized Politics illustrates the roots of the current electoral landscape in the US.

  Paris Is Not Dead - Surviving...

  The Paris of popular imagination is lined with cobblestone streets and stylish cafés, a beacon for fashionistas and well-heeled tourists. But French-American journalist Cole Stangler, celebrated for his reporting on Paris and French politics, argues that the beating heart of the City of Light lies elsewhere—in its striving, working-class districts whose residents are being priced out of their hometown today. 
   
   
   
  Paris Is Not Dead explores the past, present, and future of the City of Light through the lens of class conflict, highlighting the outsized role of immigrants in shaping the city's progressive, cosmopolitan, and open-minded character—at a time when politics nationwide can feel like they're shifting in the opposite direction. This is the Paris many tourists too often miss: immigrant-heavy districts such as the 18th arrondissement, where crowded street markets still define everyday life. Stangler brings this view of the city to life, combining gripping, street-level reportage, stories of today's working-class Parisians, recent history, and a sweeping analysis of the larger forces shaping the city. 
   
   
   
  In the tradition of Lucy Sante and Mike Davis, Paris Is Not Dead offers a bottom-up portrait of one of the world's most vital urban centers—and a call to action to Francophiles and all who care about the future of cities everywhere.

The book details Agricola's military campaigns in Britain, his political career, and his personal character. It also provides a commentary on the Roman Empire and its relationship with its conquered territories. 
  The second work, "The Germany", is a description of the Germanic tribes that lived beyond the Rhine river, as well as the geography and customs of the region. Tacitus provides an account of the Germanic peoples' society, religion, and warfare, as well as their interactions with the Romans. He also offers a comparison of the Roman and Germanic societies, highlighting what he saw as the virtues and vices of both. 
  Overall, "The Germany and The Agricola" provides a fascinating insight into both the Roman Empire and the cultures that it encountered and conquered. Tacitus is known for his vivid and engaging prose, as well as his critical commentary on the politics and society of his time.
