EDITORIAL :
"Contrary to its title, Andrew Selee's What Should Think Tanks Do? is not a book of prescriptions. Instead, it is a tool for thinking. It offers a set of principles and illustrative cases that, taken together, incite a reader to think clearly and creatively about how an organization might make the most valuable contributions possible to important public issues. Anyone who works in a public policy arena and struggles with questions of how best to spend their time and resources for maximum impact can potentially benefit from a couple of quiet hours' concentration on this short, engaging book What Should Think Tanks Do? offers a great deal of ground truth and perspective about what it takes to successfully steer a policy-oriented team or organization in today's challenging public policy environment."—Jacqueline Meszaros, Science and Public Policy

All in all, a great history book.. I've already used Teaching a Dog to Whistle t
