Culture trumps everything. That's the central theme of Civil Disservice, an impassioned call for genuine reform and renewal of the U.S. federal civil service. In this acerbic, fast-paced, and irreverent polemic, long-time government consultant Fred Mills offers a unique perspective on federal employment culture, gleaned from years of ground-level experience working with dozens of federal agencies and organizations. Mills argues that much of the dysfunction of our national government today has its roots in this culture in the norms, behaviors, incentives, and expectations that have come to define federal civil service. Mills goes on to deliver a pointed critique of civil service reform efforts to date, arguing that virtually none of these initiatives has recognized or addressed the underlying sources of the government's human resources management challenges. Instead, most attempts at reform over the past several decades have been little more than cosmetic exercises, focused overwhelmingly on tweaking the mechanics of federal HR. Predictably, these efforts have foundered, falling far short of expectations and in the end contributing nothing of lasting value to the quest for improved government performance. Civil Disservice challenges the next generation of federal sector reformers to dig deeper, to think harder, and to acknowledge and confront outdated assumptions about what it means to be a civil servant. Mills offers a vision of a future federal workforce designed to deliver results to the American people: a more responsive, flexible, and capable workforce, with an employment culture strikingly different from today's. Given the prospect of massive generational turnover during the coming decade, now is the ideal time for fresh thinking and unconventional ideas about reforming and renewing the federal civil service. Provocative, insightful, and refreshingly direct, Civil Disservice makes a powerful case for a new way forward.

Winters Rain tells the story of a time when life remained an unfair spiritual war game. It was a time when there were uncertainties and untold mysteriesand for some, fame. It was a cold day in hell, where no one could tell what it was like living in a jail cell. It was a time when challenges spread their way across the sky and when great torrential downpours and blocks of ice astounded more than the pounded dough of the American pie. It was when heavy winds ruled over rough terrains pooled in the distillation of predatory fears. It was a time when the merchant of death ruled like a plague with no breath, but not without the pain of knowing persistent suffering once again. Winters Rain uniquely portrays hidden sadness and loneliness. Of the many that embarked upon this sad and lonely journey, far too many lay in waste due to unattended gurneys. All have been consumed by the bombardment of fear. All have fallen prey to its savage rival steer, for not even hell can resist the stall of innocent pain when nighttime falls upon the dream of life during a writer's Winter's Rain.

It is difficult to ignore the fact that, even as the United States becomes much more racially and ethnically diverse, our neighborhoods remain largely segregated. The 1968 Fair Housing Act and 1977 Community Reinvestment Act promised to end discrimination, yet for millions of Americans housing options remain far removed from the American Dream. Why do most neighborhoods in American cities continue to be racially divided? The problem, suggests Mara Sidney, lies with the policies themselves. She contends that to understand why discrimination persists, we need to understand the political challenges faced by advocacy groups who implement them. In Unfair Housing she offers a new explanation for the persistent color lines in our cities by showing how weak national policy has silenced and splintered grassroots activists. Sidney explains how political compromise among national lawmakers with divergent interests resulted in housing legislation that influenced how community activists defined discrimination, what actions they took, and which political relationships they cultivated. As a result, local governments became less likely to include housing discrimination on their agendas, existing laws went unenforced, and racial segregation continued. A former undercover investigator for a fair housing advocacy group, Sidney takes readers into the neighborhoods of Minneapolis and Denver to show how federal housing policy actually works. She examines how these laws played out in these cities and reveals how they eroded activists' capability to force more sweeping reform in housing policy. Sidney also shows how activist groups can cultivate community resources to overcome these difficulties, looking across levels of government to analyze how national policies interact with local politics. In the first book to apply policy design theories of Anne Schneider and Helen Ingram to an empirical case, Sidney illuminates overlooked impacts of fair housing and community reinvestment policies and extends their theories to the study of local politics and nonprofit organizations. Sidney argues forcefully that understanding the link between national policy and local groups sheds light on our failure to reduce discrimination and segregation. As battles over fair housing continue, her book helps us understand the shape of the battlefield and the prospects for victory.
