Bureaucrats perform most of the tasks of government, profoundly influencing the daily lives of Americans. But who, or what, controls what bureaucrats do? John Brehm and Scott Gates examine who influences whether federal, state, and local bureaucrats work, shirk, or sabotage policy. The authors combine deductive models and computer simulations of bureaucratic behavior with statistical analysis in order to assess the competing influences over how bureaucrats expend their efforts. Drawing upon surveys, observational studies, and administrative records of the performance of public employees in a variety of settings, Brehm and Gates demonstrate that the reasons bureaucrats work as hard as they do include the nature of the jobs they are recruited to perform and the influence of both their fellow employees and their clients in the public. In contrast to the conclusions of principal-agency models, the authors show that the reasons bureaucrats work so hard have little to do with the coercive capacities of supervisors. This book is aimed at students of bureaucracy and organizations and will be of interest to researchers in political science, economics, public policy, and sociology. "This book is breathtaking in its use of models and techniques. . . . The approach developed by Brehm and Gates allows us to re-open empirical questions that have lain dormant for years." --Bryan D. Jones, University of Washington John Brehm is Associate Professor of Political Science, Duke University. Scott Gates is Associate Professor of Political Science, Michigan State University.

In 2000, Ward Brehm took a five-day trek across some of the most remote terrain of Africa, walking where no white man had walked before. During this life-changing journey, Brehm witnessed poverty and suffering unlike anything seen in the Western world. He also witnessed the deep richness of relationships and community in neighborhoods lacking even the very barest of resources. Brehm has journeyed to Africa fourteen times and authored two books on his experiences - Life Through a Different Lens (1993), and White Man Walking (2003). The pages of White Man Walking open the doors to a life-changing experience rich with unexpected fellowship, insight and self-discovery. Brehm s adventure walking across the terrains of East Africa, and his encounter with the local people, became a faith journey that was to change his life forever. Even as he hiked in 100-degree heat, drank out of dung-infested mud holes, and was mistaken as a ghost due to the light color of his skin, Brehm forged relationships with the Pokot people, and in the process, became one of them.

There can be joy in the midst of suffering. Your dreams are never too big. There will always be laundry. We should celebrate the normal shit. These sentiments and so many others are what Ashli Brehm, the voice behind www.babyonthebrehm.com, collected as life lessons after receiving her breast cancer diagnosis at age 33. A mother of three little boys and a wife to her favorite guy, Brehm had been blogging for five plus years when a small lump caused a large uproar in her life as she had always known it. With the help and healing of writing, chemotherapy, prayer, prescription drugs, and an army of people, she went through treatment and is now cancer-free. The lessons in this book are not just for those who have or have had cancer. They are not only for people who have breasts. The book begins with a foreword by Pamela Buffett and ends with a thank you from Ashli to so many who helped her through cancer and life. Everything in-between is a mixed bag of life happenings that Brehm penned in order to never forget them as she lives life as a survivor. Each chapter, an essay that tells how Brehm learned that particular lesson, walks through a part of treatment, life during cancer, or her life after.Wear the Damn Swimsuit is a very personal and real collection of words that Ashli wrote to tell her own story and provide hope, humor, and chutzpah to those who read it. With the biggest lesson of all that there can be joy found, even in suffering.

Intimate Relationships, 3rd editon, by Sharon S. Brehm, Rowland S. Miller, Daniel Perlman, and Susan Campbell preserves the personal appeal of the subject matter and vigorous standards of scholarship that made the earlier editions so successful.
