Product Description
Everybody knows federal agencies are brain-dead leviathans.Everybodyknows that the watchword of federal management is "that's the way we've always done it." Everybody knows that any creativity within American government shows up only in the citiesand states. Everybody's wrong.

In 1995 the Ford Foundation's annual "Innovation in American Government" awardcompetition was opened up to federal candidates and a third of the winners since then have beenfederal institutions.This book profiles the 14 federal award winners from 1995 to 1998 andchallenges the conventional wisdom about the federal bureaucracy's capacity to adapt.Examplesinclude the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which figured out how to identify and actupon business and government's shared stake in keeping dangerous products out of consumers'hands; and the Wage and Hour inspectors in the Labor Department, who deployed marketleverage to put pressure on the garment-industry scofflaws whose sweatshops had evadedconventional enforcement.

The stories show how pressure, promises, and professional pride can galvanize federalmanagers and front-line workers to overcome what are admittedly imposing impediments tochange, and persevere with new ways to deliver on their missions.And they illustrate theunfashionable truth that innovation is within Washington's repertoire after all. ...

Good overview
I'm a hematology/oncology pharmacy resident this year.I think this book is a great place to go for an introduction to a type of cancer.It gives you an overview in about 8 pages of information.If you want to really dig into the details after that, you'll know where they fit into the "big picture" of the disease.

Authoritative, concise and practical
As a practising oncologist, I own a whole personal library of oncology books. I find this book easy to use and sufficiently authoritative as well as up-to-date for quick reference and reminders. Compared to the standard large textbooks, it restricts discussion to only the most relevant and frequently quoted studies, but this should make it ideal for the trainee doing his/her revisions not to be too bogged down by details. Among the "shorter" textbooks/manuals, this is definitely the best.

One notable problem however relates to the faulty 'binding' of book, and both my paperback copies (one kept in my office, and the other at home) fall apart within weeks of purchasing. Publishers take note !! ... Read more

Heme Onc at a glance...
I bought this book in my second year of Internal Medicine Residency for my Hematology and Oncology rotation. I found a great ally in this book because it covered so many topics in 380 (pocket size) pages. The few things missing in this book were cancer screening guidelines, and details on rare malignancies (eg GIST, somatostatinoma etc)
The overall coverage of the different types of cancer was excellent for the most common ones, including cytogenetic workups. I managed a few times actually to impress an attending having read these details from the book. I also enjoyed very much the blood products transfusion chapter and the WBC, RBC, PLT disorders as well as the coagulation chapters. Overall very helpful, covering everything you will need for this level of training. Maybe it could work out for a first year fellow as well, but not for the advanced reader.
I need to warn you though that it is not a textbook of Hematology and Oncology and like my attendings were saying consider Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology (2 Vol. Set) and Abeloff's Clinical Oncology: Expert Consult Premium Edition: Enhanced Online Features and Print when you think you know everything...

so far so good!
I got this little book during my first stint in the oncology clinic after which I realized I knew very little about clinical oncology. AC, FOLFOX, Gy's....a totally foreign language to me. so far this is helping to clear things up. the chapters are brief enough so you can get through them during some down time, yet still give a good overview. not sure how helpful this would be for boards, but I feel i am learning a lot of stuff from it. Note: I have not read the heme chapters yet ... Read more
