It further posits that the best way to gain a sense of authenticity is to do what Fenno is most famous for, i.e., making multiple trips and spending a great deal of time observing representatives at home in their districts, with their constituents. The book is engaging, quietly provocative, and unique, offering an alternative to what some consider the increasingly specialized and technical nature of political science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tenth anniversary edition includes an illuminating new Foreword by renowned congressional scholar Morris P.
