Synopsis

The third edition of this best-selling text in evaluation incorporates the experience that the authors gained from the many evaluations they have undertaken since the first edition. On more than one occasion they found themselves on opposite sides of the table -- representing different agencies involved in a project. Evaluation has changed much in ten years, and this edition reflects those changes: introduction of microcomputers; econometric modelling; political changes and much more. A companion Workbook has been published in conjunction with this edition.
