'This handbook thoroughly covers all aspects of evaluation, yet
isn't too technical to understand. It offers everything an
organization needs to know to get the most out of evaluation' -
Nonprofit World `The Handbook succeeds in capturing and presenting
evaluation's extensive knowledge base within a global context. In
so doing it provides a useful, coherent and definitive benchmark on
the field's diverse and dynamic purposes, practices, theories,
approaches, issues, and challenges for the 21st century. The
Handbook is an essential reference and map for any serious
evaluation practitioner, scholar and student anywhere in the world'
- Michael Quinn Patton, author of Utilization-Focused Evaluation
`Readers of this volume will find a set of texts that provide an
evocative overview of contemporary thinking in the world of
evaluation. This is not a book of simple tips. It does justice to
the complex realities of evaluation practice by bringing together
some of the best practitioners in the world to reflect on its
current state. It is theoretically sophisticated yet eminently
readable, anchored in evaluation as it is undertaken in a variety
of domains. It is the kind of book that startles a little and makes
you think. I highly recommend it' - Murray Saunders, University of
Lancaster In this comprehensive handbook, an examination of the
complexities of contemporary evaluation contributes to the ongoing
dialogue that arises in professional efforts to evaluate
people-related programs, policies and practices. The SAGE Handbook
of Evaluation is a unique and authoritative resource consisting of
25 chapters covering a range of evaluation theories and techniques
in a single, accessible volume. With contributions from
world-leading figures in their fields overseen by an eminent
international editorial board, this handbook is an extensive and
user-friendly resource organised in four coherent sections: " Role
and Purpose of Evaluation in Society; " Evaluation as a Social
Practice; " The Practice of Evaluation; " Domains of Evaluation
Practice. The Handbook of Evaluation is written for practicing
evaluators, academics, advanced postgraduate students and
evaluation clients and offers a definitive, benchmark statement on
evaluation theory and practice for the first decades of the 21st
century.
