I am so pleased to be aware of M.Q Patton's new book release. Going 
through the remarks done about it, I have the feeling this new book 
consits in the logical rest of his previous book related to evaluation 
field titled "Utilization-Focused Evaluation". This former book has been 
shaped upon the same pattern consisting in promoting innovation,change 
within evaluated programs, projects and institutions through evaluation 
results utilization.
     In 'Utilization-focused evaluation',the author presents Results 
Utilization as a central goal around which the process of evaluation is 
supposed to be run. Results utilization is the element that will introduce 
innovation, develop competencies in the evaluation site. And that's why 
the author is fighting for.
    I got familiar with the realistic, experienced-based examples used by 
the author  the whole book long in order to strike, persuade and to 
support his reasonnings.
         Therefore,reading those remarks regarding the new book, I felt it 
was just the second part of the one I have already read. Indeed, I advise 
everyone to read both of them.
