DNF at page 66 because of my grad class

The book provides some analytical tools for off-the-fly and on-the-go policy analysts, making the book an indispensable part of an analyst's arsenal. Patton and Sawicki have also included some case studies to concretize their points. Definitely a must-read for the analyst who is just starting on the job, but has to hit the ground running on the first day.

Had to read it for PPA... necessary evil.

It's a textbook on public policy and various methods of policy analysis and presentation - what's to think? It was better than the last text I had on policy analysis...

Useful and cogently organized--will continue to visit this text as a resource for approaching various planning problems.
