Book Description
Public works management requires a balance of two essential components: technical expertise and leadership skills—neither of which are adequately covered in a traditional classroom. In Public Works Management: Things They Never Taught in School, Jim Nichols goes beyond the blackboard as he shares his more than 17 years in local government executive management. Nichols unpacks the critical soft skills necessary for exceptional leadership, addressing key issues that managers face at all levels of experience. From workplace culture and employee performance to external communications and public perception, Nichols lays the groundwork to help managers navigate roadblocks and, ultimately, achieve their organizational (and even personal) goals.

Book Description
Physical structures and facilities that deliver the federal, state, and local governments' services are essential to the economic and social development of communities, regions, and nations. As our cities age and our government "recreates" itself, can our transportation, water resources, waste management, and public utilities systems absorb the strain? Gathered from experience and applied research, Public Works Administration is a collection of modern perspectives on public works administration. Contributors examine public works such as federal reservoirs, urban forestry, solid waste disposal, and urban highways and also explore the concepts of privatization, growth management, site location, and funding.

Book Description
At the request of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) Institute for Water Resources (IWR), the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) undertook a cooperative project with the American Public Works Association (APWA). Twelve visits were made to state, county, city, and town governments -- selected to be illustrative of the country -- to review the progress of their public works departments in adopting the newly developed Public Works Management Practices Manual of APWA. These 417 practices grouped into 29 major areas such as Solid Wastes, Transportation, and Emergency Management, were the result of intensive work by a number of committees in APWA. The Academy's job was to identify federal laws or regulations which were preventing implementation of the practices.
