Author Kenneth F. Warren explains the role of administrative law in shaping, guiding, and restricting the actions of administrative agencies. Providing comprehensive coverage, he examines the field not only from state and federal angles, but also from the varying perspectives of legislators, administrators, and the public.  Substantially revised, the sixth edition emphasizes current trends in administrative law, recent court decisions, and the impact the Trump administration has had on public administration and administrative law. Special attention is devoted to how the neo-conservative revival, strengthened by Trump appointments to the federal judiciary, have influenced the direction of administrative law and impacted the administrative state. Administrative Law in the Political System: Law, Politics, and Regulatory Policy, Sixth Edition is a comprehensive administrative law textbook written by a social scientist for social science students, especially upper division undergraduate and graduate students in political science, public administration, public management, and public policy and administration programs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50175749357841,"sku":"CIN1138353825G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51354786562321,"sku":"NGR9781138353824","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52106032382225,"sku":"CIN1138353825VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144174792977,"sku":"NLS9781138353824","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53223015285009,"sku":"NIN9781138353824","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1138353825.jpg?v=1751175063"},{"product_id":"black-and-white-strangers-book-kenneth-w-warren-9780226873855","title":"Black and White Strangers","description":"In a major contribution to the study of race in American literature, Kenneth W.

Immediately it produced two thirds of America\\u2019s raw steel and thirty percent of the steel made worldwide. The behemoth company would go on to support the manufacturing superstructure of practically every other industry in America. It would create and sustain the economies of many industrial communities, especially Pittsburgh, employing more than a million people over the course of the century.  A hundred years later, the U.S. Steel Group of USX makes scarcely ten percent of the steel in the United States and just over one and a half percent of global output. Far from the biggest, the company is now considered the most efficient steel producer in the world. What happened between then and now, and why, is the subject of Big Steel, the first comprehensive history of the company at the center of America\\u2019s twentieth-century industrial life.  Granted privileged and unprecedented access to the U.S. Steel archives, Kenneth Warren has sifted through a long, complex business history to tell a compelling story. Its preeminent size was supposed to confer many advantages to U.S. Steel—economies of scale, monopolies of talent, etc. Yet in practice, many of those advantages proved illusory. Warren shows how, even in its early years, the company was out-maneuvered by smaller competitors and how, over the century, U.S. Steel\\u2019s share of the industry, by every measure, steadily declined.  Warren\\u2019s subtle analysis of years of internal decision making reveals that the company\\u2019s size and clumsy hierarchical structure made it uniquely difficult to direct and manage. He profiles the chairmen who grappled with this \\u201clumbering giant,\\u201d paying particular attention to those who long ago created its enduring corporate culture—Charles M. Schwab, Elbert H. Gary, and Myron C. Taylor.  Warren points to the way U.S. Steel\\u2019s dominating size exposed it to public scrutiny and government oversight—a cautionary force. He analyzes the ways that labor relations affected company management and strategy. And he demonstrates how U.S. Steel suffered gradually, steadily, from its paradoxical ability to make high profits while failing to keep pace with the best practices. Only after the drastic pruning late in the century—when U.S. Steel reduced its capacity by two-thirds—did the company become a world leader in steel-making efficiency, rather than merely in size.  These lessons, drawn from the history of an extraordinary company, will enrich the scholarship of industry and inform the practice of business in the twenty-first century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51008558563601,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008561545489,"sku":"NIN9780822960027","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51882555244817,"sku":"CIN0822960028G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0822960028.jpg?v=1762422735"},{"product_id":"bethlehem-steel-book-kenneth-warren-9780822960676","title":"Bethlehem Steel","description":"In the late 19th century, rails from Bethlehem Steel helped build the United States into the world's foremost economy.

Yet Schwab was much more than a salesman-he was a captain of industry, a man who streamlined and economized the production of steel and ran the largest steelmaking conglomerate in the world. A self-made man, he became one of the wealthiest Americans during the Gilded Age, only to die penniless in 1939. Schwab began his career as a stake driver at Andrew Carnegie's Edgar Thomson steel works in Pittsburgh at the age of seventeen. By thirty-five, he was president of Carnegie Steel. In 1901, he helped form the U.S. Steel Corporation, a company that produced well over half the nation's iron and steel. In 1904, Schwab left U.S. Steel to head Bethlehem Steel, which after twelve years under his leadership, became the second-largest steel producer in America. President Woodrow Wilson called on Schwab to head the Emergency Fleet Corporation to produce merchant ships for the transport of troops and materials abroad during World War I. Kenneth Warren presents a compelling biography that chronicles the startling success of Schwab's business career, his leadership abilities, and his drive to advance steel-making technology and operations. Through extensive research and use of previously unpublished archival documentation, Warren offers a new perspective on the life of a monumental figure--a true visionary--in the industrial history of America.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52776012579089,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52776012775697,"sku":"NIN9780822961994","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780822961994.jpg?v=1763909401"},{"product_id":"consett-iron-1840-to-1980-book-kenneth-warren-9780198232971","title":"Consett Iron, 1840 to 1980","description":"This is an account of the 140 year history of one of Britain's most distinguished iron and steel companies. Although the focus is on one firm, this is placed in the context of the economic changes which have taken place within the industry of England and the nation as a whole. The great industrial expansion of the early Victorian decades passed into the uncertainty of the last quarter of the century, then into chronic inter-war depression, and finally into the problems of slow growth and a de-industrializing Britain. Consett Iron Co. was involved in all these stages of national and economic development. Although in many ways seriously disadvantaged, it was a generally successful company until it succumbed within a nationalized British steel industry. The history of the company, spanning this vital period, together with the availability of archival material, makes this test case for theories of Britain's industrial decline. The industrial career of the company is outlined and analyzed, and the significance of its economic development and demise are considered in the context of the British economy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52994239987985,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52994240053521,"sku":"GOR006015960","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780198232971.jpg?v=1767606863"},{"product_id":"mineral-resources-book-kenneth-warren-9780140215830","title":"Mineral Resources","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53251957358865,"sku":"GOR012103341","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53253206311185,"sku":"GOR010433670","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780140215830.jpg?v=1773594060"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-kenneth-warren.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
