| Up the Bureaucracy: A True and Faultless Guide to Organizational Success and the Further Adventures of Knute and Thor
Because I am convinced that both bureaucrats and those who are critical of bureaucrats take themselves far too seriously, I wrote this little book. Much of the book is humorous and therefore some may regard of Up The Bureaucracy as just a frothy bit of humor or a pastiche on Twain or Woodhouse. Not so. In fact, Up the Bureaucracy is an indispensable and powerful tool in the hands of those who aspire to serve the people. Do not let yourself wander into the halls of bureaucracy without it. Up the Bureaucracy will serve as your faithful guide to organizational success and at the same time put a smile on your face.

| Public Administration with an Attitude
For many years I have written a monthly column for the Public Administration Times (PAT) called "The Frederickson Perspective." The Public Administration Times is published by the American Society for Public Administration (APSA). I was approached by ASPA officials and asked if I would be interested in a book based on a collection of my columns and I readily agreed. The result it Public Administration with an Attitude, a book written to be thought provoking and interesting to persons practicing public administration and useful to those teaching public administration. Click here to see the Table of Contents of Public Administration with an Attitude Copies can be purchased from the American Society for Public Administration, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20004, 202/393-7878, info@aspanet.org |

| Ethics in Public Administration
Thirteen years ago I edited a book of original essays on ethics in public administration. Unlike other collections on ethics, each chapter in Ethics and Public Administration was based on research; research which empirically informed some aspect of ethics--whistleblowing, corruption, codes of ethics, professional ethics, etc. With the encouragement of Harry Briggs at M. E. Sharpe, my friend Richard K. Ghere and I have brought together, under the title Ethics in Public Management, a new and larger collection of empirical studies of public sector ethics.
