I read the 3rd edition .I had a love hate relationship with this book while using it for a course. We were required to do weekly readings and then apply and discuss. It is definitely a resourceful textbook! It is not an easy read and I think what enhanced my understanding of it were the weekly discussions and assignments.
One of its flaws is redundancy and Scarce visual graphics. On the other hand, the book positively provides an abundance of examples for everything it is conveying.
I now look back and actually think it is very important and I see my self referring to it when I work in my future projects.

Used in my program planning class and was super helpful throughout the semester, particularly for my own program proposal.
