Offering much more than a purely theoretical or retrospective view
of public management, this exciting text is an invaluable new
addition to the field of public management. Putting the American
model in perspective, it establishes the historical, theoretical,
analytical, practical and future foundations for the comparative
study of public management. Taking a boldly integrative approach,
Laurence E. Lynn Jr. combines topics of best practice, performance,
accountability and rule of law to provide a much-needed umbrella
view of the topic. Well-written and illustrated with case study
examples, this is one of the most exciting books on public
management available today. As such it is an essential read for
every student of public management, administration and public
policy.
This book offers a much-needed critical approach to the intelligent
use of the wide variety of map projections that are rapidly and
inexpensively available today. It also discusses the distortions
that are immanent in any map projection. A well-chosen map
projection is one in which extreme distortions are smaller than
those in any other projection used to map the same area and in
which the map properties match its purpose. Written by leading
experts in the field, including W. Tobler, F.C. Kessler, S.E.
Battersby, M.P. Finn, K.C. Clarke, V.S. Tikunov, H. Hargitai, B.
Jenny and N. Francula. This book is designed for use by laymen. The
book editors are M. Lapaine and E.L. Usery, Chair and Vice-Chair,
respectively, of the ICA Commission on Map Projections for the
period 2011-2015.
A close relationship exists between GIS and numerous applications,
including cartography, photogrammetry, geodesy, surveying, computer
and information science, and statistics, among others. Scientists
coined the term "geographic information science (GIScience)" to
describe the theory behind these fields. A Research Agenda for
Geographic Information Science extensively details the issues and
fundamental scientific problems that must be solved if the use of
GIS in these and other fields is to advance. Immediately following
the founding of the University Consortium for Geographic
Information Science (UCGIS), the group identified in a Research
Agenda the topics that represented major challenges to the GIS
research community. The first chapter of this book delivers an
introduction to the agenda and to the collective guidance that the
agenda provides to researchers. Chapters 2-10 discuss nine original
research challenges. Chapters 11-14 provide the basis of the
agenda's four "Emerging Themes." Each chapter, written by
researchers involved in the conception of the topics, discusses
basic research elements, the UCGIS approach, the need for the
National research agenda, contributions to knowledge and society,
and offers a complete set of references. The final section draws
general conclusions about the UCGIS approach and the defined
research challenges.
