'Editor Peter Dahler-Larsen has assembled a worthy multi-faceted volume, A Research Agenda for Evaluation, conveyed through the varied lenses of an exceptional international group of evaluation scholars. These lenses feature philosophical, socio-political, and cultural facets of evaluation. Among the key concepts and values included are the importance of cultural wisdom, overcoming the ''bureaucratic capture of evaluation'' and the persistent practice of ''governing by numbers,'' the contributions of ''collaborative'' and ''feminist'' evaluation traditions, and replacing evaluative ''tools of control'' with ''tools of emancipation.''' -- Jennifer C. Greene, Professor Emerita, University of Illinois, US
