Those who seek to select for support the more promising plans and projects submitted to funding agencies have become habituated to the ritualistic inclusion in the proposal of a final section on Evaluation. In most cases this section consists of sometimes grandiose but usually vague statements of intent and procedure for assessing the impact of the proposed action.

Dr. Suchman has distilled in this volume a rich and varied research experience, much of it concerned with difficult evaluative problems.
