Abstract "Managing Local Government Services is written for local government practitioners who lead and manage municipalities and counties and who are responsible for the administration of services to residents, as well as for students considering a career in local government management. The ideas in this text are especially helpful to entry-level managers and those in smaller communities, as it enables them to grasp the scope and complexity of local services and to appreciate the challenges and opportunities of governance." -- publisher's website.
