It looks like the books is very similar to his web site. In
case anyone is unfamiliar with it, it's at:
http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/polit/damy/prlib.htm
He's primarily into PR, so it's understandable that his
coverage will be a bit skewed. He also seems to be more
interested in practical than purely academic considerations.
And he doesn't seem to give a lot of attention to
mathematical considerations. My impression, anyway.
>> Regarding single winner methods-
>> The book notes --
>> Plurality, p. 142
>> Two-Round Runoff Voting, p. 146
>> Instant Runoff Voting, p. 151
>> NO mention of my Hitler-Stalin-Washington IRV example (no big surprise).
>> In *somewhat buried* Appendix C he mentions-
>> Approval Voting, p. 183
>> Condorcet Voting, p. 187
>> *Sincere voting* made it into the Glossary of Terms, p. 203.
