[Before this title] I had yet to see a constitutional law textbook that clicked with me...For me, its primary strength is in the way it integrates law and politics. Too many constitutional law textbooks before this spent too little attention to the political factors that surround and shape constitutional law. It very self consciously treats both law and politics as significant dynamics and contributors to the evolution of constitutional law...Much of my graduate training and scholarship since emphasized the interrelationship between political and legal institutions, actors, and dynamics. Politics shapes law; law shapes politics. As part of this, I appreciate that the text emphasizes that constitutional and statutory law is usually the result of lengthy debates and that constitutional law happens in locations other than the Supreme Court."

I tried readiing this book over 30 years ago and failed. I recently watched a documentary of Darwin's life and my curiosity was aroused again. I chose the first of the six editions. I am part way through and am impressed by the breadth of Darwin's thinking. I am in the process of writing a novel and there are themes in Origin of the Species that inform. Close members of a species being the toughest competitors like siblings in a family. I will make it to the end, but it will take me some time.
