For many years H. George Frederickson's monthly column has informed, provoked, and entertained the readers of the PA TIMES. When he was approached by ASPA with the idea of a book comprising some of his most penetrating and thought-provoking columns, he enthusiastically agreed. He only asked that the book be an ASPA publication and that it be reasonably priced.

In Public Administration with an Attitude, Frederickson takes on the issues facing today's public administrators with the intellectual integrity that established him as a leader in the field. If there is something wrong or right with the way public policy is being administered, Frederickson lets you know. Like his column, Public Administration with an Attitude is easy to read and jargon-free, and, of course, it is often witty.

Students preparing for public service careers will benefit not only from the wisdom and insight in Public Administration with an Attitude, but from the pervading theme of the honor and dignity of public service. Practicing public servants will enjoy the rich use of examples, the telling of great public administration stories, and especially the descriptions of public administration heroes and heroic moments. This book is a lot more interesting than a spreadsheet (and more accurate)!

The price, $14.95*, was derived with students in mind.
