"Frank Thompson’s collection is really good. The Classics approach is pedagogically sound, and this volume has no competitors. Virtually anyone who is asked will give you a different list of potential entries, and I don’t envy Frank for having to make the final decisions. However, I can’t think of anyone who is better qualified than Frank Thompson to make such judgments."

--Steven Hays, University of South Carolina

"Thompson has chosen well."

--Robert Maranto, University of Virginia

"Thompson has done an excellent job of covering the various policy areas of public personnel. Overall, Thompson’s reader has been invaluable to the field of public personnel policy and therefore a revised edition would be highly received. Thank you for the opportunity to review Thompson’s reader."

--Norma Riccucci, University of Albany

"Without a doubt Thompson’s 3rd Edition of Classics of Public Personnel Policy is a work of enduring value. The "classics" format helps students gain an invaluable understanding of the fact that Public Personnel Administration/Human Resources Management is a continually evolving discipline and that much of what occurs in the field today is a function of its past."

--Curtis Berry, Shippensburg University
