Equip yourself with the “gold standard” blueprint for analyzing and improving public programs.

For over forty years, Evaluation: A Systematic Approach has served as the definitive introduction to program evaluation. Authored by social science legends Peter H. Rossi, Mark W. Lipsey, and Gary T. Henry, the Eighth Edition meticulously outlines how to appraise the design, implementation, efficiency, and ultimate effectiveness of social initiatives. Balancing advanced methodologies with real-world practicality, this text moves beyond raw academic theory to give public administrators, sociologists, and students the critical tools needed to build data-driven social solutions.
