One of the best Public Management texts available. My professor used this text in a Public Admin class last year and I constantly find myself referring back to it.

I was looking for more of a workbook type information that would assist local government. This was a big broad.

I love this book. It is well explained and easy to understand.

Good book.

Joia!
