1) Paperback Book A Practical Guide For Policy Analysis: The Eightfold Path To More Effective Problem Solving by CQ Press. I wanted a basic book on policy and this is a book on the general problem solving method. The sub-title should become the book title:"The Eightfold Path to More Problem Solving." This book expands on the the very basic 3-step general problem solving method: (1) define the problem, (2) think of all the alternatives, (3) choose the best alternative.

When I get a book I take the key word in the title and look for the author´s definition of that term so that I can understand their perspective. Amazingly, the author does not define "policy" in the book. Is policy different than a problem, a strategy, a plan, rules and regulations......?

I´ll sell you my copy cheap!¤

2) Paperback Book A Practical Guide For Policy Analysis: The Eightfold Path To More Effective Problem Solving by CQ Press. I do not want to say much about this book other than it is overly obvious in what it states. Also, I did not use this book much in my class, which adds to my negative impression of it.¤

5) Paperback Book A Practical Guide For Policy Analysis: The Eightfold Path To More Effective Problem Solving by CQ Press. Bardach is the essential policy analysis book. Apparently a student of his took avid notes in class; that combined with his own journals made for the most trunkated version of any specialized policy book. Written much like a reference manual with his own quips about analysis, it is easy to read and most informative.

Ciao!
