Synopsis

Public Service Erosion examines the decline in quality and accessibility of public services globally, attributing it to deliberate policy choices rather than simple mismanagement. It highlights the impact of neoliberal policies, privatization, and outsourcing on governance and public administration. The book argues that this erosion isn't inevitable and can be reversed through evidence-based policy and thoughtful public administration, ensuring equitable access for all citizens.

 
The book explores how shifts in political ideologies and budgetary constraints have reshaped public service governance. One critical insight is the transformation of public administration from traditional models to market-driven approaches, affecting workforce capacity and the ability to meet citizen needs.

 
Did you know that studies show countries that prioritize public service investments often see stronger social and economic outcomes?

 
The book presents case studies from various countries to illustrate the real-world consequences of this decline. Beginning with core concepts, the book progresses through the impact of neoliberal policies, the changing roles of public servants, and case studies. It concludes by emphasizing a renewed commitment to public service values and offers policy recommendations to improve service delivery and strengthen democratic governance. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and potential pathways to improvement.

    "What we have been missing" – Henry Kissinger
    ***
    'If the United States does not lead, there will be no leadership. If the US instead turns inward, there will be a price to be paid later.' – George H. W. Bush
    Marking thirty years since the end of George H. W. Bush's presidency, Robin Renwick paints a warm, affectionate portrait of a President who sought to unify rather than divide his country, and whose staunch belief in diplomacy strengthened cooperation around the world.
    A True Statesman explores Bush's core belief in the United States as the 'indispensable nation' in helping to deal with world crises, charting his efforts to end the Cold War, secure the reunification of Germany and drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait.
    Extending beyond Bush's time in office, it also reflects on US foreign policy over the past three decades, examining the consequences of his successors' differing approaches to America's role on the world stage.
    Incisively written by a former British Ambassador to Washington, this insider account offers fresh insights into both the 41st President and America's foreign policy from Iran–Contra to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

    Do you feel like you're doing it all for everyone—all the time? This book offers mindful self-awareness practices to help you prioritize self-care, soothe stress, and create a life of joy, fulfillment, and well-being. 
     
     
     
    In The Black Woman's Guide to Coping with Stress, Black psychologist and registered nurse Cheryl Woods Giscombe introduces the innovative, research-based superwoman schema (SWS) framework—five core beliefs that drive Black women's stress—and provides self-care practices grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion to help you live a life of joy and greater well-being. 
     
     
     
    In this empowering guide, you'll identify the core beliefs that may be contributing to your experience of stress—that you must always be strong, hide your emotions, resist vulnerability, succeed even in the face of inadequate resources, and always help others while neglecting self-care. You'll learn how these beliefs can lead to burnout and a feeling of imbalance in your life. And finally, you'll discover how to harness the strengths within these beliefs, so they no longer cause you harm. There's nothing wrong with being strong—but sometimes it's essential to "take off your superwoman cape," recharge, and prioritize self-care. You are worth it. This book will help you gain the self-awareness you need to stay balanced and live your very best life.

    Puerto Rico - What Everyone...

    Acquired by the United States from Spain in 1898, Puerto Rico has a peculiar status among Latin American and Caribbean countries. Though they are US citizens, Puerto Ricans do not have their own voting representatives in Congress and cannot vote in presidential elections (although they are able to participate in the primaries). In recent years, Puerto Rico's colossal public debt sparked an economic crisis that catapulted it onto the national stage and intensified the exodus to the US, bringing to the fore many of the unresolved remnants of its colonial history. 
     
     
     
    Beginning with a historical overview of Puerto Rico, Duany covers the Spanish colonial period (1493-1898) and the first five decades of the US colonial regime. He then delves into the demographic, economic, political, and cultural features of contemporary Puerto Rico. New material examines the multiple issues affecting Puerto Rico in the last decade, including a prolonged recession, the devastating impact of two hurricanes, and the largest migrant wave ever recorded from Puerto Rico. 
     
     
     
    While a popular tourist destination, few beyond Puerto Rico's shores are familiar with its complex history and diverse culture. Duany takes on the task of educating readers on the most important facets of the unique, troubled, but much beloved isla del encanto.

    In a world that allows no room for error, the Security Leader emerges not as an enforcer of orders, but as a mind that reads what remains unspoken and senses danger before it appears. 
     This is not a story about force—it is about decision-making at the moment certainty collapses, time compresses, and every second becomes the line between control and chaos. 
    Here, battles are not managed by impulse, but by understanding. 
     Leadership is not forged through volume, but through calmness capable of containing the storm. 
     This work takes you inside the mind of the Security Leader—where decisions are made before they are demanded, and threats are neutralized before they are seen.
