Brun (social work, Wright State U.) explains how research, theory and practice work together in evaluating the efficiency, effectiveness and empathy of social service agencies and institutions through reflective and procedural journal activities. Using an evaluation decision-making model throughout, Brun analyzes the scope and purpose of evaluation, the process of negotiating with stakeholders as part of the politics of evaluation, the process of combining values, theory and data, and coming full circle by creating the final report. Brun includes the Code of Ethics approved by the National Association of Social Workers for evaluations and research in his appendices. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
