Murray Edelman is professor of political science at the University of Illinois. His other works include The Licensing of Radio Services in the United States, 1927-1947 and, with Robben W. Fleming, The Politics of Wage-Price Decisions, 1946-1963: A Four-Country Analysis. It would have been very interesting to flesh out the consequences of the symbolic uses of politics with case studies of different issues, different interest groups, different affected groups, in different countries and historical periods. After the excellent "Introduction", the other chapters just yammer the same points on and on.

Edelman received a bachelor's degree in social sciences from Bucknell University in 1941, a master's degree from the University of Chicago in 1942 and a P. in Political Science from the University of Illinois in 1948

The symbolic manifestations, purposes, and uses of politics are revealed in this provocative analysis of the institution of politics and man as a political animal.

Beginning with The Symbolic Uses of Politics ( 1 9 6 4 ) he has shown how, in communications between political authorities and mass publics, elites significantly structure the expectations people have of them and significantly contribute to the accepting relation-ship of mass publics to authority itself. He has demonstrated a subtle way of analyzing the public pronouncements and actions of authori-ties in terms of their symbolic content and their psychological impact on a dependent population seeking reassurance and virtually demand-ing leadership.
