Othello
Othello has long been, and remains, one of Shakespeare's most popular works. It is a favourite work of scholars, students, and general readers alike. Perhaps more than any other of Shakespeare's tragedies, this one seems to speak most clearly to contemporary readers and audiences, partly because it deals with such pressing modern issues as race, gender, multiculturalism, and the ways love, jealousy, and misunderstanding can affect relations between romantic partners. The play also features Iago, one of Shakespeare's most mesmerizing and puzzling villains. This guide offers students and scholars an introduction to the play's critical and performance history, including notable stage productions and film versions. It includes a keynote chapter outlining major areas of current research on the play and four new critical essays. Finally, a guide to critical, web-based and production-related resources and an annotated bibliography provide a basis for further research.

Public Management Reform and Innovation
Leading scholars present the most complete, as well as the
most advanced, treatment of public management reform and
innovation available
The subject of reform in
the public sector is not new; indeed, its latest rubric,
reinventing government, has become good politics. Still, as the
contributors ask in this volume, is good politics necessarily
good government? Given the growing desire to reinvent government,
there are hard questions to be asked: Is the private sector
market model suitable and effective when applied to reforming
public and governmental organizations? What are the major
political forces affecting reform efforts in public management?
How is public management reform accomplished in a constitutional
democratic government? How do the values of responsiveness,
professionalism, and managerial excellence shape current public
management reforms? In this volume, editors H. George
Frederickson and Jocelyn M. Johnston bring together scholars with
a shared interest in empirical research to confront head-on the
toughest questions public managers face in their efforts to meet
the demands of reform and innovation. Throughout the book, the
authors consider the bureaucratic resistance that results when
downsizing and reinvention are undertaken simultaneously, the
dilemma public managers face when elected executives set a reform
agenda that runs counter to the law, and the mistaken belief that
improved management can remedy flawed policy.
