In addition, the author providesexplanatory entries for each article of the Constitution and the entire text of the document,clarified through her margin notes.

Its breadth of coverage is impressive, and its arrangement allows easy access to morethan 11,000 quotations. Ninety-nine chapters present topics from Abortion to Welfare andmuch more in between. Subjects we might expect to find in such a work are wellrepresented, for example, Freedom and Liberty, Liberals and Conservatives, and Slogansand Mottoes. Some topics, however, go beyond the bounds of the typical book of politicalwit and wisdom: Flags, Housing and the Homeless, and Terrorism and Terrorists. Withineach chapter, quotations are arranged alphabetically by author, and source citations areprovided for nearly all. There are indexes by author and concept. References in both areto chapter and quotation numbers, not to page numbers, thus allowing for almost instantaccess to individual quotations.Keywords: dictionary, political quotationsThe Middle East Political Dictionary.

Directories of Government AgenciesAccess to government often appears to be overwhelming. There are at least 80,000 unitsof government in the United States--of which the federal government is only one; otherunits include states, a commonwealth, territories, counties; cities; towns, villages, anddistricts with the independent ability to raise taxes for schools, water systems, firedepartments and similar specific functions. For purposes of research, it is not sufficient tocontact the largest governmental units--the federal government, each state, or a large cityof 100,000+. It is also necessary to contact their component departments, agencies,bureaus, and offices, thus multiplying the scope of potential contacts. If research involvessurveys or interviews, contacts with individual officials are necessary; yet there areapproximately seventeen million public sector employees in the U.S. Even at theappointed policy levels, there are easily in excess of one million individuals.How can such organizations and individuals be identified? Fortunately, excellentdirectories are available. Most are updated on an annual basis. Although they areprohibitively costly (with few exceptions) for an individual, they are readily available inresearch libraries. Those described below should be taken as representative of theavailable resources and not as a comprehensive listing. They are an excellent startingpoint for organization-based research.In addition to the national directories cited below, many state and municipal governmentdirectories are published.FEDERALBiographical Directory of the United States Executive Branch. 1774-1989, N.Y.,Greenwood Press, 1990.http://info.greenwood.com/books/0313265/0313265933.htmlhttp://www.greenwood.comCompletely revised and updated, this Directory now includes biographies of members ofthe executive branch who have served since 1977.

The Soviet Union has dissolved, Yugoslavia has become a jigsaw puzzle ofsmaller states designed to keep ethnic conflict in check, an oil war raged briefly in thePersian Gulf, Eastern Europe has been freed to find its own way, Israeli and Palestinianleaders met on the White House lawn to sign a peace accord that is fading into memory,and China has experienced both brutal political repression and significant economicreform. The U.S. has had to adjust its foreign policy to fit this post-cold war world.The revised Encyclopedia of American Foreign Policy reflects the challenge the nationhas faced in several ways. The most evident change is the updating of articles such asBalance of power (now briefly discussing George W. Bush's rapid shift in September2001 from unilateralism to collaboration); Cold War evolution and interpretations (notingthe continuity between interpretations of the forces that fueled it and interpretations of itsend); and Dissent in wars (noting the ambivalence of the U.S and its political leaderstoward the 1990s conflicts in the Balkans). Indeed, it now takes four articles to cover thecomplexities of the origins and end of the cold war, whereas the first edition managedwith just one. Thorough updating of history and the collateral changes in U.S. foreignpolicy theories and strategies is evident throughout. The expanded encyclopedia also109

eflects changes through 48 new essays, among them African Americans, Culturalimperialism, Gender, Multinational corporations, Outer space, Refugee policies, and, ofcourse, Terrorism and counterterrorism. Others have been dropped, including thosedealing with conscription, detente, the Fourteen Points, the Truman Doctrine, the KingCotton theory, and missionaries. This list argues in favor of retention rather than disposalof the old edition. Bibliographies have been thoroughly updated to account for newscholarship and thinking on enduring topics as well as to provide leads to additionalresources on new ones. Most items include informative, brief descriptive annotations. Seealso references at the conclusion of each article also provide pointers for furtherexploration. By covering the somewhat specialized concerns of the foreign policy"establishment" (e.g., Deterrence, Extraterritoriality, Protectorates and spheres ofinfluence ) as well as those forces the public observes in foreign relations (e.g.,Nationalism, Race and ethnicity, Religion), the encyclopedia meets the needs of bothacademic users and the curious citizen seeking greater understanding of foreign affairs.The academic specialists who wrote the articles kept this latter audience in mind.The broad topical essays in the revised Encyclopedia of American Foreign Policycomplement the country-by-country treatment and biographies of diplomats andstatesmen that predominate in the Encyclopedia of U.S. Foreign Relations (Oxford, 1997).Both are essential to academic collections, and the former merits exposure to the broaderaudience public libraries serve.Keywords: American legislative system, encyclopediaEncyclopedia of the American Legislative System.

gazetteer. Included here are eight- to 15-page descriptions of 136 cities from all states, theDistrict of Columbia, and eight Canadian provinces. Cities are listed alphabetically, withnarrative information obtained from a variety of secondary sources on topical categorieslike climate, history, landmarks, population, ethnic composition, government, economy,education, health, crime, and religion. Current statistical data, when available, wereobtained from standard reference sources listed in the preface and highlighted in boxesunder appropriate categories. The full-page maps provided for each city vary fromdetailed street maps not necessarily corresponding with city boundaries to the illustrationof major arteries only, together with surrounding towns. Although selection was based onpopulation and economic/social significance to the region, there is a New England bias. Itis odd that New Hampshire and Maine are represented by four and three cities,respectively, while Columbia, South Carolina, and Raleigh, North Carolina (both statecapitals with populations equal to or larger than those of the New England cities), areoverlooked. In the end, Kurian's work presents about 200 fewer cities than AllanCarpenter's Facts About the Cities ( LJ 8/92), but it gives much more information(especially historical) for similar topical categories. A casual reading will reveal minorinconsistencies about familiar cities, but overall this set provides a convenientassemblage of well-formatted information for travelers, librarians, and researchers.Keywords: encyclopedia, cities in North AmericaWorld Encyclopedia of Parliaments and Legislatures.

It is this change within the various fields ofeducation and the fact that many of the entries in the first edition were written in the early1980s which convinced the editors in 1990 of the need for a completely new edition ofthe Encyclopedia.

Because local planning office staff often play key roles in CLG projects,the thread of historic preservation becomes woven into the fabric of local land-use policy.Local governments collect and analyze information on the location and significance ofarcheological and historic properties for use by preservation commissions and by local,county, and State agencies. Using grants awarded by SHPOs, CLGs may produce historictheme or context studies, cultural resource inventories, assessments of properties todetermine their eligibility for local and National Register of Historic Places designation,building reuse and feasibility studies, design guidelines and conservation ordinances, andpublications to educate the public about the benefits of historic preservation.Keywords: grants, historic, history, local government, preservationHistoric Preservation Grants - Historic Preservation Fundhttp://www2.cr.nps.gov/hpf/hpf-fund.htm140

The funds for the program are derived from Outer Continental Shelf mineral receipts.Since 1968, over $1 billion in grant funds has been awarded to 59 States, territories,Indian Tribes, local governments, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Out ofa FY2004 appropriation of $34.5 million for HPF grants to the States, the average Stateallocation is about $573,000, which typically is matched by $382,000 in non-federalmatching share contributions. Projects eligible for funding and the criteria used to selectthem are developed annually by the SHPO. Funding decisions are made by the State notNPS. Among the kinds of activities funded are the following: architectural, historical,archeological surveys; nominations to the National Register of Historic Places; staff workfor historic preservation commissions; design guidelines and preservation plans; publicoutreach materials such as publications, videos, exhibits, and brochures; training forcommission members and staff; and rehabilitation or restoration of National Registerlistedproperties.Keywords: grants, history, historic, preservationHomeland Security Grants-Department of Homeland Securityhttp://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/odp/library/bulletins.htm#grantsThis is a compendium of homeland security grants – past and present – specifically fromthe Department of Homeland Security.

Kirschenbaum, Alan. CRC Press.2003.http://www.crcpress.com/shopping_cart/products/product_detail.asp?sku=DK2908&parent_id=&pc=Chaos Organization and Disaster Management offers a scholarly survey of disasterresponse behavior and management in the face of natural and manmade catastrophe. Theauthor provides a methodological and empirical platform from which to initiate a criticalanalysis of disaster management. Sparked by a unique field study of the Israeliexperience during the Gulf War, this book demonstrates the massive divide betweenindividual responses to disaster and the actual functioning of disaster managementorganizations. It exposes the fundamental flaws of disaster management agencies,analyzing disasters from the perspectives of both agencies and potential victims.Formulating an alternative approach to disaster management that draws upon theadvantages of privatization, this volume appraises methods of measuring disaster agencyeffectiveness, emphasizing the citizen vantage point and stakeholder evaluations. Itoutlines the intrinsic bureaucratic constraints that impede the efficacy of governmentagencies, and reveals the disconnect between organizational and victim perceptions ofdisaster. By highlighting a new empirically based understanding of disaster behavior, thebook recommends moving the focus of disaster management to a social process modelthat will save lives.Keywords: chaos organization, disaster response behavior and managementCivil Service Handbook: How to Get a Civil Service Job.

CRC Press. 2004.http://www.crcpress.com/shopping_cart/products/product_detail.asp?sku=TF2287&parent_id=&pc=As early pioneers in the use of digital geographic data, many local governments in theUK were ahead of their counterparts in central government and the private sector in theapplication of GIS technology. To meet current challenges, local authorities mustcoordinate the latest technology with effective information management strategies,human and cultural issues, and organizational structures and processes. GeographicInformation Management in Local Government examines the factors that are necessary toensure that real benefits are delivered from the improved availability of geographicinformation. Written by two practitioners with extensive government experience, thisfour-part book examines supporting technology, the data that fuels it, and the humanfactors that help or hinder successful GIS implementation. Exploring the history ofgeographic information management in local government, this volume offers a pragmaticoverview of the subject and what local authorities need to do in order to be successful.The Introduction covers the emergence of Geographic Information Management (GIM)and GIS in local government and explains why they are important. Part 2 explains the keyelements of human and organizational issues, data, the technology toolbox, GIS selectionand implementation, and coordinating mechanisms.

1/ref=sr_1_1/102-1404922-2673704?v=glance&s=booksPublic administration is commonly assumed to be a young discipline, rooted in law andpolitical science, with little history of its own. Likewise, teaching and scholarship in thefield is often career oriented and geared either toward the research for immediately usableknowledge or guidelines and prescriptions for the future. Although most administrativescientists would acknowledge that their field has a history. Their time horizon is limitedto the recent past. Raadschelders demonstrates that public administration has in fact along standing tradition, both in practice and in writing; administration has been an issueever since human beings recognized the need to organize themselves in order to organizethe environment in which they lived. This history, in turn, underlines the need foradministrators to be aware of the importance and contemporary impact of past decisionsand old traditions. In seeking to go beyond the usual problem-solving and future-orientedstudies of public administration, this volume adds greatly to the cognitive richness of thisfield of research. Indeed, the search for theoretical generalizations will profit from anapproach that unravels long-term trends in the development of administration andgovernment.Keywords: administrative history, handbook, public administrationHandbook of Bureaucracy.

Snellen, I. Th. M., andW.B.H.J. van de Donk, IOS Press.1998.http://www.iospress.nl/html/boek004.htmlThis book is a joint effort of researchers who have been involved in research-projects andprograms that have been trying to chart and reflect upon the implications of Informationand Communication Technologies (ICTs) for Public Administration (Tilburg/Rotterdam,Kassel, Irvine, Nottingham/Glasgow). Since the fifties, computers had largely facilitatedand the transformation of the minimal 'Night-Watch-state' into the modern 'Welfare-state',through their contribution to their effectivity, productivity and efficiency. In mostHandbooks of Public Administration, computers are seen as neutral instruments and,most of the time, the role of computer technologies in the transformation of publicadministration is completely neglected. This 'deafening silence' is a great contrast withthe way ICT's are actually changing public administration. The faster the developments ina field of study are, the more difficult it is to let the theories, related to that field of study,mature. In such circumstances, most statements will remain provisional and contextdependent.25 years of research in Irvine (California) and Kassel (Germany) and morethan 10 years of research in Tilburg/Rotterdam (The Netherlands) and about seven yearsof research in Glasgow/Nottingham (the United Kingdom) nonetheless enables thepresentation of a modest image of public administration as it is entering the informationage. Researchers in each of these groups have, nevertheless, not stopped trying to phrasetheories about the implications of informatization for public administration with a moreor less larges scope that are robust in different contexts and over longer periods of time.These results and theories, covering a broad set of elements of the body of knowledge ofpublic administration, are presented in this volume. As the authors try to demonstrate inthis book, informatization developments in public administration do not only challengethe existing body of knowledge of the public administration discipline, but they are alsoopening up new perspectives and paradigms for the study of public administration.209

http://www.shef.ac.uk/uni/academic/N-Q/perc/npe/The aim of the journal is to create a forum for work, which seeks to bridge both theempirical and conceptual, divides which have characterized the field of political economyin the past. Few articles are likely to draw on more than a small part of the theoreticaltoolkit outlined above. But we shall encourage exploratory and innovative work, whichdraws on different disciplines, and which addresses core issues in the emerging researchagenda. The existence of such a research agenda does not mean that everyone will agree.There will continue to be fierce arguments and debates among the protagonists of a newpolitical economy, as well as with those who are not persuaded that the world haschanged or that our ways of understanding it need amending. In seeking to assist thedevelopment of a distinctive research agenda we aim to bring together four key literatureswhich are beginning to analyze the contours of the new world order, and which offer asearching critique of different aspects of the old political economy.Keywords: journal, political economyNew Review of Applied Expert Systemshttp://www.qub.ac.uk/mgt/alans/nraes.htmAppropriate expert systems can do much to improve efficiency and quality across alltypes of organizations and in all branches of industry, commerce, the professions,education and government.

Textbooks in Public Administration and Public AffairsGenerally speaking, a textbook is a publication used by schools or colleges for the formalstudy of a subject. Although always written by a specific individual, a textbook is thecumulative intellectual fruit of scholars in certain subjects, and offers a sketch of thewhole subject or discipline. Textbooks can be used by beginners or others as a startingpoint to begin their exploration of a certain field, and can also be used by researchers asvaluable tools to examine the whole system of knowledge in specific arenas. Normally, atextbook is updated every 2 or 3 years in order to reflect the new developments in thediscipline and the interaction of theory and practice. This bibliography of textbooks inpublic administration and public affairs includes the most widely recognized textbooks inthe field, and covers virtually every important topic in public administration and publicaffairs, public administration theory, public organizations, public budgeting, publicpersonnel management, not-for-profit management, public finance, public performancemeasurement, public economics, etc.ADMINISTRATIVE ETHICSAmerican Compact: James Madison and The Problem of Founding (AmericanPolitical Thought).

First, apublic affairs student must have an idea of where the money comes from, not just sort of,but really.

That is no less true for the 1990s than itwas for the 1980s; those lacking an understanding of revenue options, systems, andpolicies will miss out on much of the fun. The second principle is that learning publicfinancial administration and budgeting requires running the numbers.

Esman, Milton J., NY: CornellUniversity Press. 2000.http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/What is the proper role of government in American life? This is the principal controversyin contemporary American politics. Milton J. Esman believes that the United Statessuffers not from too much government but from too little. Most Americans todayproclaim pride in their democracy, but they do not trust Washington. Esman shows howAmerican conservatives have, for the last quarter-century, hammered away at the federalgovernment, attacking its size, its inefficiencies, the limits it places on personal freedom,and its intervention in what conservatives believe should be free and untrammeled markettransactions. Such commentators have effectively seized the initiative, and theirantigovernment viewpoint now dominates the public discourse on politics. "This biasruns contrary to the main thrust of American political experience," Esman writes, "and isdetrimental to the well-being of the nation on the brink of the new millennium."Keywords: textbook, public administration, public affairsIntroducing Public Administration.

http://www.sunypress.edu/sunyp/backads/html/schachter.htmlChallenging the assumptions of the "reinventing-government" movement now in vogue,this book unites a call for active citizenship with the current concern for improvingpublic-agency performance. The author argues that citizens should not be viewed ascustomers of government, as reinventing-government advocates assume, but rather asgovernment's owners. By analyzing a turn-of-the-century model of urban reform thatdepicts this relationship between citizens and government, Schachter shows howreinvigorating an active public is essential to increasing agency efficiency andresponsiveness. She offers two strategies for moving toward active citizenship: bettercitizenship education, including service learning and public agencies' provision of betterfocusedinformation for their owners. This book will spark much-needed debate on therole of active citizens in administrative reform.Keywords: public administration, public management, reinventing government, textbookSeamless Government: A Practical Guide to Re-Engineering in the Public Sector.Linden, Russell M.

This new work offers a substantive political theory approach to organizational theory. Itdiffers significantly from most organizational perspectives in that it applies politicaltheory to four prevalent organizational models found in administration today. Most suchmodels fall within the province of government or corporate management and fail to dealwith the democratic and public dimensions of organization. In this study, Davis examinesvarious organizational theories' prospects to generate authentic public organization. Healso suggests alternative considerations by which to facilitate more genuine "public"organization. An important contribution to the literature in organizational theory andpublic administration, this work will be of interest to scholars and students in these andrelated fields.Keywords: organization theory, public administration, public affairs, textbookOrganizational Theory: Cases and Applications.
