This is one of the few texts available which focuses exclusively on evaluation research. The introductory chapter helps set the context for evaluation research. The following chapters explore, theory, methods and the practice of evaluation research, which are very readable. The inclusion of chapters exlporing the application of evaluation research in different contexts is useful.
