Page v ... garbage has to be the poem of our time because garbage is spiritual, believable enough to get our attention, getting in the way, piling up, stinking, turning brooks brownish and creamy white: what else deflects us from the errors of our illusionary ways, not a temptation to trashlessness, that is too far off, and, anyway, unimaginable, unrealistic... From A. R. Ammons, "Garbage: A Poem"

Page ix Acknowledgments A person cannot reasonably attempt to write a book like this without the assistance of a number of people. Some of those are people you have never met, but whose work has been crucial to your project. Others are professionals with whom you consulted as you attempted to understand and to explicate what your research had revealed. Still others are family, friends, and colleagues without whose support and understanding you would never have been able to find the time and energy to attempt the project. To all those whom I do not know personally, but whose work I used in order to write this book, I thank you sincerely. Without your help, I would not have been able to see over this hurdle, much less surmount it. To my professional contacts and colleagues, I thank you for your time, patience, and assistance. In this regard, some people merit specific mention: Terry Novak, Phil Williams, Jack Geraghty, Bob Dellwo, Glen Yake, Pete Dennison, Curt Messex, Jim Malm, Mike Hibbler, Eric Skelton, Karen Dorn Steele, George Durrie, and Steve Blewett. Your willingness to give of your time and knowledge was crucial to my completion of this book. To my colleagues in the Graduate Program in Public Administration at Eastern Washington University (Ann, Terry, Doug, and Bob), thank you for letting me evade my normal responsibilities as a faculty member for one year so that I might attempt this project. To my students, your feedback in the early stages when I was developing my ideas and working on how to present the materials in this book was of immeasurable assistance.
