    Environmental Sustainability and American Public Administration
    Past, Present, and Future
    ​

    Protecting the natural environment and promoting environmental sustainability have become important objectives for U.S. policymakers and public administrators at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Institutions of American government, especially at the federal level, and the public administrators who work inside of those institutions, play a crucial role in developing and implementing environmental sustainability policies.

    In this book, J. Michael Martinez focuses on assassinations and attempts in the American republic. No other nation with a population of over 50 million people has witnessed as many episodes. These violent acts trigger important questions. First, why has the United States—a country constructed on a bedrock of the rule of law and firmly committed to due process—been so susceptible to political violence? Martinez addresses this and other questions as he examines twenty-five instances of violence against elected officials and public figures in American history.
