N2  - Laura R. Peck's Experimental Evaluation Design for Program Improvement emphasizes the importance of cause and effect in program evaluation, advocating for the use of randomized experiments to establish causal links.  The book explores various experimental designs, focusing on how they can address impact evaluation questions, especially those related to specific program components. Peck demonstrates how these designs can provide answers and encourages broader application of experiments in diverse settings, particularly for program improvement initiatives.  Ultimately, the book champions the use of experimental evaluation designs as a powerful tool for understanding program effectiveness and driving positive change
