The traditional tale of the 'Farmer and the Parrot' is retold
through rhyme and illustrated by the artist/author. The book has 24
pages with 23 full colour illustrations and 21 x 21 cms. saddle
bound. "Following an early spot of bother I ran home in tears to
receive further rebukes from my mother; but my Grandfather
comforted me and told me the story of the Farmer and the Parrot.
From then on if he saw me on the street with 'the gang' or coming
in late from playing he would raise his finger and repeat, Bad
company!a Robert Mountjoy's grandfather had received the story
while attending Sunday School sometime in the 1900s. He had taken
on board the direct message in the tale and this was stressed some
fifty years later. In rewriting it for his grandchildren the author
has made some changes to make it acceptable to children and parents
today.
Administering Elections provides a digest of contemporary American
election administration using a systems perspective. The authors
provide insight into the interconnected nature of all components of
elections administration, and sheds like on the potential
consequences of reforms that fail to account for this.
Targeted federal aid to needy city areas is difficult to maintain
because of political pressure to broaden geographical coverage for
continued legislative support, i.e., aid becomes distributive
rather than targeted. The effectiveness of a program declines
because of the broadening of the program, if all else remains
constant. With the last such program, the Urban Development Action
Grant (UDAG), the geographic broadening did not occur, which
contributed to its termination by Congress. This book details the
political pressure and the effectiveness of the UDAG program. It
further examines specific events, both legislative and
administrative, which tended to lessen the impact of the targeted
program.
