Product Description

For a comprehensive, yet fresh and fascinating look at the lives and scholarship of the leading theorists in the field, Mastering Public Administration is a wonderful starting point for more in-depth and nuanced study. With each chapter focusing on one seminal figure, Brian Fry and new coauthor Jos Raaschelders weave an insightful narrative the explores and analyzes the research, writing, thinking, theorizing, and long-term impact of such luminaries as Max Weber, Frederick Taylor, Mary Parker Follett, Dwight Waldo, and now new to this second edition Charles Lindblom.

Customer Reviews

Self referential1
This text is what happens when you write in a vaccuum. With only a few exceptions, most of the content was extraordinarily self referential and discussed theory in a way that all but abandoned their applications in public administration. Fry should consider cliff noting his own text as an excercise to stop talking in circles.

Good Book5
I bought this book because it was required for one of my courses. I have read half of the book an so far so good.
