Alkin (social research methods, U. of California, Los Angeles) brings together 30 chapters written by a group of specialists in statistics, research and evaluation, sociology, education, psychology, and public policy, from the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe who detail their evaluation theories, the theories' evolution and relationships, and the roots of evaluation in social science research methodology, social accountability, and epistemology. Theories are organized by three roots: methods, valuing in evaluation, and uses. This edition has new and revised chapters that include more authors and integrates international perspectives from Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Two online-only chapters cover the roots of connoisseurship and criticism and evaluation forms. Annotation Ac2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
