This review is from: Advances in Survey Research: New Directions for Evaluation (J-B PE Single Issue (Program) Evaluation) (Paperback)
As a graduate student in the field of survey research, I am distressingly intimately familar with the books that are out there in this area. WHile this one has intersting articles, it is nothing mindblowing, nor does it present any new theories or ideas that you'll want to have on your shelf for reference. So if you've clicked on to this book out of an interest in the field, click over to your library's website & check it out there & take your [X] bank!
