520			_a"This book offers an introduction to public administration by a veteran practitioner, written for planners, as well as students seeking a public administration career and individuals simply wanting to learn more about responsible government. The narrative provides an overview of public administration theory and the importance of leadership in today's contentious political environment. The book contains five broad sections including an introduction, sections on management, the public sector, government programs, and some impressions on why this subject is so critically important in our society today. Typical administrative responsibilities are addressed as well as issues not typically covered in books on public administration, along with observations about sound public administration. Each section also contains practical exercises, discussion questions, and references to other texts and academic resources. Because public administration is fundamentally about relationships with people and communities, the book provides lessons that can be applied easily to one's personal life and experiences. It is a timely narrative on public administration today that will be valuable reading for planners and planning students looking to better understand public administration and policy"--
