From the first edition . . . "There are a number of outstanding
features to this book. First, introducing the key concepts in an
easy-to-understand fashion. Second, using specific examples as
concrete illustrations of the methods being utilized. Another
positive feature is the in-depth appendix, which provides many
additional sources of information on the subject of program
evaluation. . . . This comprehensive resource presents a realistic
look at the potential and the pitfalls of program evaluation. The
authors' examination of the issues from various angles produces a
document that can be a useful guide to program evaluation." --The
Journal of Applied Rehabilitation Counseling "Extremely interesting
and well written. . . . Key terms are clearly introduced and the
reader is given an excellent introduction to the role program
evaluation might play in programs at different stages of
development. A wide variety of interesting examples drawn from
disparate fields of practice are used to illustrate key points. An
appendix is provided to guide the reader toward the literature on
program evaluation, professional associations, and organizations
engaged in evaluation research." --Canadian Public Administration
"The book has all the potential of becoming to program evaluation
what Strunk and White's (1976) Elements of Style became for
writing. Read frequently and faithfully, it could help evaluators
do a better job." --James W. Trent in Adult Residential Care
Journal Have you been looking for an overview of evaluation that
will provide you with the big picture rather than so many details
that you lose sight of what evaluation research is? Through the use
of specific examples to illustrate evaluation research goals and
methods, this book provides readers with an overview of the science
and politics of evaluation research with comprehensive topics but
selective details. New to this edition is coverage of
meta-analysis, selection models, and instrumental variables. In
addition, the authors have expanded the coverage of analysis of
data, evaluation when the units of analysis are entire
organizations of political jurisdictions, and comparisons between
evaluation research and other related fields. The rich mix of
examples has been expanded to include more illustrations from
environmental evaluation, and the most recent studies on welfare
reform, managed mental health care, and law enforcement.
