Up in Smoke: From Legislation to Litigation in Tobacco Politics
"The book is the gold standard for this type of text-it's clear, it makes a strong argument about reliance on courts to make policy, and it says something about the state of American democracy." -- John Barnes Review 20100604 "I have found this to be an excellent book for my course, accessible to an undergraduate audience and well-written." -- Daniel Gitterman Review 20100608 "I think Up in Smoke does an excellent job of showing the multiple avenues of policy development in the American context. It can be used to show the power of interest groups, the nature of litigation, and the variations in normal politics over time. The structure of the book fits naturally with how one might discuss this in class." -- John Bruce Review 20100610 "The book is exceptionally lucid and captures the confiscatory logic of the Master Settlement AGreement brilliantly and shows that it is indeed a pathology of federalism. The book is brilliant at telling a story and unveiling important lessons about adversarial legalism and its downside." -- Rick Valelly Review 20101018--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
