Description
Patton draws on his experiences in over 200 evaluation workshops, 80 evaluation projects and extensive consultations, to explore the actual processes of evaluation as it is practised -- and ways of transcending them. Patton shows how to move beyond the usual limitations of the discipline through imaginative search procedures, communication techniques, group relations, and ways of thinking.
`Patton brings to the frustrated, joyless or just plain tired evaluator an entertaining and stimulating book...This book is worth reading just for its lively, humorous and thought provoking collection of quotes about evaluation and much more.' -- Evaluation Division Newsletter, July 1983
