The selected readings provide a useful reference to classic public administration literature. The writings are presented in a general chronological order covering topics important to the various time periods. The book could be improved with an updated edition of current literature (stops around the Carter presidency.) An index would be helpful. Overall, a worthwhile addition to one's political science library. I refer to it often.

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.

Classics of Public Administration (Paperback) by Jay M. Shafritz (Author), Albert C. Hyde (Author) is a definite, must read for anyone working or studying in the field of Public Admin.

A graduate level text that provides in one book, a comprehensive series of short articles by the founders of business culture and public administration dating back to the industrial revolution. A handy tool for managers, and business owners. as well as a necessary text for future administrators.
