Evaluation: A Systematic Approach, authored by Peter H. Rossi, Mark W. Lipsey, and Gary T. Henry, is now in its 8th edition and continues to be the definitive resource for understanding program evaluation. This comprehensive guide covers a wide range of evaluation research activities used to assess social programs’ design, implementation, effectiveness, and efficiency. The book presents evaluation domains within a coherent framework that not only explores each domain but also highlights their interrelationships and the role they play in enhancing social programs and outcomes.
Originally relied upon by professors, students, and practitioners for 40 years, this latest edition has been significantly updated to include a new practical chapter on planning an evaluation. It features entirely new examples throughout and a major re-organization of content to better suit the needs of program evaluation courses. The Eighth Edition is praised as a significant improvement, offering breadth and depth of coverage while maintaining a practical focus.
"The Eighth Edition of Evaluation is a massive improvement on an already stellar text. The breadth and depth of coverage—while still keeping a practical focus—make this the go-to book for program evaluation classes and practitioners alike." —B. Andrew Chupp
