Abstract

This is a prodigious addition to a greatly expanding, increasingly scholarly body of works on needs assessment. The book exemplifies the best of this flourishing segment of the literature. Many edited books have the problem that the various chapters are so discrete that any semblance of continuity is missing-not so with this rendition. There is integrity, coherence, and consistency, a smooth flow from one section and chapter to the next.
