All The Gang Is Here!!! So, Should You!!!!!
This book provides exposure to all the great classics of the field of Public Administration. All the keystone texts in the development of PA are provided with a brief essay describing the importance of each work to this discipline. You will not get a hands-on guide to administration, but you will get a good understanding of how PA has evolved within the United States and why topics being discussed came to the attention of individuals who study administration. Thus, you will see that some topics come up because of what is happening in the environment surrounding administrators. This will lead one to the conclusion that what scholars study may not be as important to those practicing administration.
