| Summary: |
Not all collections of an author's past works need be a dull revisitation of the best-forgotten. This book brings together Charles T. Goodsell's works on public administration, some of which are of ancient vintage or go outside the field for inspiration, possibly earning the appellation 'outlandish'. Such essays draw from fields including symbol analysis, theory of art, room phenomenology, and theories of public space. The book also deals with more orthodox topics, such as bureau culture, government contracting, and the early New Deal. The author's methodological biases, placed in full view, will assure controversy. The book ends by encouraging young new scholars to have fun by picking unusual topics and treating them at a fresh angle. |
