This book offers a scholarly yet accessible overview of the role of lobbying in American politics. It draws upon extant research as well as original data gathered from interviews with numerous lobbyists across the United States. It describes how lobbyists do their work within all branches of government, at the national, state, and local levels. It thus offers a substantially broader view of lobbying than is available in much of the research literature. Although tailored for students taking courses on interest group politics, Total Lobbying offers an indispensable survey of the field for scholars and others concerned with this important facet of American politics.

Reviews & endorsements
"Total Lobbying gives a thorough and extremely useful overview of what lobbyists do, how they do it, and to what effect. By covering three diverse areas where lobbyists are active: public policy, land-use, and procurement, the reader learns about these diverse policy environments at all levels of government and how lobbyists adopt their strategies to these different requirements imposed by these different policy processes. It fills an important niche in the literature." --Frank Baumgartner, Pennsylvania State University

By addressing lobbying in an accessible manner, the book helps create better citizens and gives students insights that they can use in the future." --Kenneth Godwin, University of North Carolina, Charlotte
