Book ID/图书代码： 01240015B85795

English Summary/英文概要： A rising United States Senator--widely recognized as the accessible and energetic new voice of politics -- makes the case that the virtues of connection and compassion must guide our nation toward a brighter future.

Cory Booker, a Stanford football star, Rhodes Scholar, and Yale Law graduate, advocates for the issues that he’s passionate about through his Senate Committee assignments: Homeland Security and Government Affairs; Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Environment and Public Works; Small Business and Entrepreneurship. His motivation to serve has inspired him to create opportunity for others knowing what he owed to the people who came before him, but he did not always see politics as the way to do that. In UNITED, Cory Booker reveals the journey that brought him to where he is now.

Awards/获奖情况：“What sets Senator Booker’s work apart from that of similar political books is that it seeks to elevate discourse rather than bring down opponents of the opposite partisan persuasion. This is a refreshing take, one that is truly worthy of study and contemplation.”—The Huffington Post
