Rarely in my doc studies do I have the time to read a book cover to cover. For this text, make an exception. A thoughtful guide to conducting evaluative case study research (and other types for other contexts, too,). Easily read, easily applied, and very well connected to my studies in evaluation on democratic, participatory, and use-oriented approaches and value stances. Love the Kushner and Peshkin referencing sections!
