BOOK REVIEW:
The Education Shelf:
Now in a newly updated, reorganized and expanded ninth edition, "The
Political Handbook For Student Government Operations" by Henry Landa
(formerly with the Wisconsin Technical College System and currently adjunct
faculty member , University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) is a definitive,
comprehensive, and thoroughly "user-friendly" instructional reference
on every aspect [of] student government and activities from candidate selection,
to leadership styles, to organizational configuration, to the role of faculty
advisors. "The Political Handbook For Student Government Operations"
will show aspiring and practicing student government members on
"what-to-do", "how-to-do-it", and "why-you-do-it"
issues and insights that range from "Candidacy & Campaigning" (of
special note is the role of the campaign manager and the necessity of winning
office), to "Leadership" (dealing with authority and the art of
delegation), to "Management" (organizational generalities, techniques,
and [the] education [about] institution bureaucracy); "Offices and Officers"
(descriptions and definitions, operational guidelines and tricks-of-the-trade);
"Advisors" (students making use of advisors and guidelines for
advisors). "The Political Handbook For Student Government Operations"
is enhanced with the further inclusion of a Readers [Readings] and Reference chapter, a
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations, and an Appendix of six-five articles
offering techniques, detail, and "obscure topics" of factors and
issues that can make or break a student government officer. "The Political
Handbook For Student Government Operations" is virtually unique in the
field and should be considered a critically important core reference for all
college and university library Student Government reference and resource
collections." [Cataloging data] Landa The Political Handbook for Student Government
