"Washington, DC is much more than a city of politicians, cherry blossoms, and national landmarks. Washington 101 offers a comprehensive introduction to the richness and diversity of the nation's capital. Each of the book's ten chapters explores key features of Washington from both past and present perspectives which make it unique as a symbolic city, a political city, and a living city. Topics covered in the book include Washington's urban design and architecture, memorials and museums, local and national politics, regional economy, neighborhoods, and people of the city and surrounding suburbs. This book draws upon a variety of intellectual approaches and a wealth of academic research to explain Washington in a manner that is clear, accessible, and engaging"--
