penguinUSA: And the Pursuit of Happiness by Maira Kalman

And the Pursuit of Happiness is beloved artist and author Maira Kalman's yearlong investigation of democracy and how it works. Energized and inspired by the 2008 elections, on inauguration day Kalman traveled to Washington, D.C., launching a national tour that would take her from a town hall meeting in Newfane, Vermont, to the inner chambers of the Supreme Court. Her NYtimes blog posts are collected in her new volume: And the Pursuit of Happiness
