- Focuses on the essentials that public managers should know about administrative law-why we have administrative law, the constitutional structure for and constraints on public administration, and administrative law's formats for rulemaking, adjudication, enforcement, transparency, and judicial and legislative review or administrative activity.
- Views administrative law from the perspectives of administrative practice, rather than lawyering, with an emphasis on how various administrative law provisions promote their underlying goals of improving the fit between public administration and U.S. democratic-constitutionalism.
- Organized around federal administrative law while including references to state practices where appropriate, the book explains the essentials of administrative law clearly, concisely, and accurately, in non-technical terms, and in sufficient depth to provide readers with a sophisticated, lasting understanding of the subject matter.
- Includes new cases and examples throughout the text, updated suggestions for additional reading, refreshed chapter discussion questions, and expanded treatment of guidance documents, administrative dark matter, and the Congressional Review Act

Experts in public administration and in administrative law study similar things, but often they don't speak the same language. David Rosenbloom is fluent in both languages, and I heartily recommend this new edition to all in both fields. It is comprehensive, refreshingly accessible, and shows a profound understanding of how government works and needs to work better. - Jeffrey S. Lubbers, Washington College of Law, American University, USA
Rosenbloom gives public managers an essential tool for democratic governance: a concise roadmap to their role in preserving the rule of law. The public has less trust in government. Public managers need this comprehensive introduction to constitutional and administrative law, because law underpins the ethics and values of public administration. - * Lisa Blomgren Amsler, Indiana University, USA
