Books by Rosemary O'Leary

Examines the impact of hundreds of federal court decisions on the policies and administration of the EPA since its inception in 1970. This title presents case studies of five important policy areas: water quality, pesticides, toxic substances, air quality, and hazardous wastes.

Using case studies, O'Leary shows the importance of dissent and presents strategies for ways public servants can ethically engage in guerilla activity and ways managers can tap into the potentially insightful and creative ideas of dissenters.

This text explains how public managers can effectively address environmental issues from a managerial point of view. The authors examine environmental concerns from the perspective of the non-specialist managers who must deal with these issues.
