?Scholars from public administration and from the arts and
humanities contribute a variety of perspectives on the ways in
which painting, literature, and film affect, and are affected by,
the practice and perception of public bureaucracy....The articles
are well written and thoughtful, ranging from "Poetry and
Leadership" to a discussion of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest...This volume is a welcome addition to those interested in the
possibilities of healthy connections between fields and objects of
study too long compartmentalized. A positive contribution to the
literature, this edited volume is highly recommended.?-Choice
