In 1978, the citizens of California took the historic step of voting for Proposition 13, thus reducing property taxes by 57%. Already known as a trend setting state, California's tax revolt was no different, as similar tax revisions quickly spread across the United States of America. In California, state and local governments struggled to find a way to manage the loss in revenue. On many occasions budget cuts were the solution. Library budgets were frequently the target of those cuts. Proposition 13 - America's Second Great Tax Revolt details how libraries prioritized, managed and reacted to hardships in this new world, and have done so in California for the last forty years where Proposition 13 is still the law. Library and information science professionals were facing budget cuts that were as high as 65% with little to no guarantee of what future budgets were to be. The actions they took, and the rationale behind those actions, offer significant lessons to be learned by the library community on both an academic and practitioner level. Exploring the intended and unintended consequences of Proposition 13, this book provides an insightful understanding of how to manage a library budget given a difficult funding situation. It examines the thought processes behind government financing and spending priorities, and considers how libraries can organize, and participate in activism to influence decision makers.

John Warden wrote "The Air Campaign" in 1986 while attending the National War College. During his career, he developed a method to simplify analysis of complex organizations, articulated the radically new concept of parallel war, created an extremely new educational system, and synthesized a powerful new approach to business strategy. In addition to being a theorist, however, he has had major successes in the real world of war, politics, education, and business: Generals Schwarzkopf and Powell credited him with creating the air campaign that defeated Iraq in the Gulf War. He retired as a colonel from the United States Air Force and is now the President of Venturist, Inc., a strategy consulting and computer based training development company.
