The Logic Model Guidebook offers clear, step-by-step support for creating logic models and the modeling process in a range of contexts. Lisa Wyatt Knowlton and Cynthia C. Phillips describe the structures, processes, and language of logic models as a robust tool to improve the design, development, and implementation of program and organization change efforts. The text is enhanced by numerous visual learning guides (sample models, checklists, exercises, worksheets) and many new case examples. The authors provide students, practitioners, and beginning researchers with practical support to develop and improve models that reflect knowledge, practice, and beliefs. The Guidebook offers a range of new applied examples. The text includes logic models for evaluation, discusses archetypes, and explores display and meaning. In an important contribution to programs and organizations, it emphasizes quality by raising issues like plausibility, feasibility, and strategic choices in model creation.

I did not adopt the book for this semester but am still thinking about adopting it in the fall.
Dr Jacquelyn Owens, Nursing Dept, West Chester Univ Of Penn
This textbook provides a higher level of explanation of logic models than those found in other textbooks
Professor Mary Siegrist, School Of Health Sciences, Ohio University
Nice book. May decide to make it "recommended"."
Dr Curtis Kerry, Business Administration Dept, Golden Gate University
A thorough overview of various logic models and their application, helpful for practitioners who wish to constract a logical framework for the own social action project or for application of a logic model for action's evaluation.
Mrs Beata Kviatek - Simanska, School of Communication & Media, Hanze University
Support class learning. - Great tool for learning the process of the Logic Model. I will adopt in future classes.Alisha BradleyFlorida State University
