"The authors continue to provide a timely and thorough introduction to important topics in the field. The inclusion of state government, local government, and non-profit applications are particularly helpful in programs where student career interests are not with the national government. I highly recommend the 8th Edition as a source for introducing the field to practitioners and aspirants alike." Gregory K. Plagens, Eastern Michigan University, USA
