Charles Goodsell has long taken the position that U.S. bureaucracy is neither a generalized failure nor sinkhole of waste as mythologized by anti-government ideologues. Rather, it is one of the most effective and innovate sets of administrative institutions of any government in the world today.

Now an extended essay, written in a conversational tone, Goodsell expects readers to form their own judgments. At a time when Congress is locked in partisan and factional deadlock, he argues for the increased importance of bureaucrats and discusses how federal agencies must battle to keep alive in terms of resources and be strong enough to retain the integrity of their missions.

Indonesian Islam is often portrayed as being intrinsically moderate by virtue of the role that mystical Sufism played in shaping its traditions. According to Western observers--from Dutch colonial administrators and orientalist scholars to modern anthropologists such as the late Clifford Geertz--Indonesia's peaceful interpretation of Islam has been perpetually under threat from outside by more violent, intolerant Islamic traditions that were originally imposed by conquering Arab armies. The Makings of Indonesian Islam challenges this widely accepted narrative, offering a more balanced assessment of the intellectual and cultural history of the most populous Muslim nation on Earth.

An important consideration for energy-efficient buildings is their primary energy requirements over the entire life cycle. How to determine this? What integrative factors influence the performance of a healthy and sustainable building? This, while it may be important for clients and architects to know, is frequently not very transparent. This book has been written to assist with clarifying target criteria and expanding horizons when it comes to ecological buildings. It is meant as a handbook and source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators, to provide them with pertinent information about their design, construction and operation: how to do this in the most ene...
Adanya ketimpangan antara ketersediaan tanah dengan kebutuhan tanah menjadi permasalahan baru dalam hukum pertanahan di Indonesia. Bank tanah disebut sebagai alat pemerintah untuk mensiasati hal tersebut. Konsep bank tanah menghimpun kemudian mengelola tanah terlantar serta atau tanah yang masih belum produktif guna menunjang pembangunan nasional serta reforma agraria.

Seperti di Indonesia cenderung untuk pembangunan nasional sedangkan di Belanda cenderung pada perbaikan lingkungan. Perbedaan yakni jenis bank tanah yang diberlakukan di Indonesia terdapat bank tanah publik dan swasta sedangkan di Belanda hanya ada bank tanah publik. Persamaannya yakni terdapat tujuan yang sama dalam pembentukan bank tanah di Indonesia dan Belanda seperti menunjang kepentingan umum, kepentingan pembangunan, serta memberdayakan kembali tanah kosong atau tanah terlantar. Objek tanah yang dihimpun dalam bank tanah di kedua negara ini secara umum sama seperti tanah kosong, tanah terlantar, serta tanah yang tidak ada status kepemilikan haknya.
