review: Editorial Reviews Review "It's a gem—clear, well-written, and sharply focused. It addresses important issues that cross disciplines, outlines its arguments well, and provides useful examples drawn from observations and interviews. It presents a persuasive conception of decision making in an organizational context." —Peter K. Manning ,Michigan State University "A splendid book. . . . What I find most attractive is Feldman's uncanny ability to boil down a most uncertain matter to a swiftly moving interpretive tale that gets past disciplinary interests to wrestle with policy formulation in the warrens of a government bureaucracy. It is a book that anyone seriously attempting to account for the making of policy will have to address." —John Van Maanen ,Massachusetts Institute of Technology About the Author Martha S. Feldman is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan.
