"Featuring a two page listing of the contributors and their
credentials, "Smarter Government: Governing for Results in the
Information Age" is an impressively informative study that is
unreservedly recommended for community, corporate, political think
tank, college, and university library Contemporary Political
Science collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.
Exceptionally well organized and presented, it should be noted for
personal reading lists of students, academia, political activists,
state and federal politicians, governmental policy makers and
implementers, and non-specialist general readers with an interest
in the subject." --James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, Midwest Book
