December 1982 | 320 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
"An unusual and very useful book. . . . Provides a first-rate practical primer in evaluation. . . . Sorts out . . . issues commonsensically and very persuasively, and proceeds to argue for a collaborative evaluation practice. . . . A toolkit of principles and techniques that evaluators who are prepared wholeheartedly to work practically can make their own."
