Book Description
Did evaluation meet the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis? How were evaluation practices, architectures, and values affected? Policy Evaluation in the Era of COVID-19 is the first to offer a broad canvas that explores government responses and ideas to tackle the challenges that evaluation practice faces in preparing for the next global crisis. Practitioners and established academic experts in the field of policy evaluation present a sophisticated synthesis of institutional, national, and disciplinary perspectives, with insights drawn from developments in Australia, Canada and the UK, as well as the UN. Contributors examine the impacts of evaluation on socioeconomic recovery planning, government innovations in pivoting internal operations to address the crisis, and the role of parliamentary and audit institutions during the pandemic. Chapters also example the Sustainable Development Goals, and the inadequacy of human rights-based approaches in evaluation, while examining the imperative proposed by some authors that it is time that we take seriously the call for substantial transformation. Written in a clear and accessible style, Policy Evaluation in the Era of COVID-19 offers a much-needed insight on the role evaluation played during this unique and critical juncture in history.

Book Description
In A Distant Land, Apprehensions About The Future Of Their Homeland The past few weeks saw an unraveling in Afghanistan that was as striking for the speed at which it took place as the overnight transformation in the mood of the people of the war-torn country. The emotions captured among Afghans within the country and other parts of the world have ranged from anger to fear to despair as the Taliban entrenched themselves. In our Cover Story, we catch up with some Afghan nationals who came to Bhubaneswar for higher studies to secure a better future for themselves and their families. They have watched the happenings unfold from a distance, but the impact has been devastating. As one of the students, Ehsanullah puts it, they don’t know what the future holds. But they still dare to dream. In CityZen, we feature Madhusmita Nayak and her inspiring story as she goes about breaking the proverbial glass ceiling. She talks about her days as a student and the support from her parents that saw her move to the UAE for what would eventually become an inspiring career. The column also profiles Odia-origin boy Krish, who is playing one of the lead roles in the BBC series Silverpoint. Fond of acting since his school days, he impressed his teachers enough for them to suggest that he take up professional acting. Krish and his mother open up about his journey so far. Often, one’s passion can be poles apart from their chosen profession. Perhaps nobody exemplifies this better than Manas Ranjan Samal. An officer of the Odisha Administrative Service (OAS), Samal is passionate about philately, or collecting stamps. Twenty-one years after he chose this hobby, he is still going strong.He is our third CityZen for this edition. Amidst all the restrictions it brought upon us, one positive habit that Covid reinforced is that of reading. In a special feature, we speak to a few book enthusiasts on how reading helped the ride over what has been one of the most challenging periods in recent history. One of the joys of driving across India is discovering the colourful messages and slogans that adorn trucks. A home away from home for those who drive these heavy vehicles, these. have been described as moving works of art. Breastfeeding is important for the good health of mothers as well as new borns but it is an area that is also surrounded by misinformation. We bust some common myths through a Q&A article in our Health section

Book Description
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter, a powerful and cathartic portrait of a country grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic—from feeling afraid and overwhelmed to extraordinary resilient—told through voices of people from all across America The Covid-19 pandemic was a world-shattering event, affecting everyone in the nation. From its first ominous stirrings, renowned journalist Eli Saslow began interviewing a cross-section of Americans to capture their experiences in real time: An exhausted and anguished EMT risking his life in New York City; a grocery store owner feeding his neighborhood for free in locked-down New Orleans; an overwhelmed coroner in Georgia; a Maryland restaurateur forced to close his family business after forty-six years; an Arizona teacher wrestling with her fears and her obligations to her students; rural citizens adamant that the entire pandemic is a hoax, and retail workers attacked for asking customers to wear masks; patients struggling to breathe and doctors desperately trying to save them. Through Saslow's masterful, empathetic interviewing, we are given a kaleidoscopic picture of a people dealing with the unimaginable. These deeply personal accounts constitute a crucial, heartbreaking record of the sweep of experiences during this troubled time, and show us America from its worst and to its resilient best.

Book Description
We are COVID veterans together. We have felt the suspension of plans and certainties, apprehension for our own health and for those dear to us, separation from family and friends. These poems came about in the empty space, the clear table that COVID left in its wake. The palate cleansed allowed thoughts to percolate and mature; sights ‘seen’ frequently over many years were seen as if for the first time, the mystery and majesty of sunlight both in summer and winter, early and late. When we have everything, we can never have enough but when we have less we can appreciate the gifts that surround us, the blessing of presence. Feeling separated, these were an attempt to connect with friends, family, myself. Inside you'll find musings and bemusings on life after death, life before death, depression, dogs, cats, the wonderful world of nature around us, the mysterious world within us, politics, palmistry, children. Speaking of nature, she never got the memo. She just carried on. As should we.

Book Description
"Agatha is a Hawk, brave and fierce, who patrols the high walls of her island home. She takes pride in her duties, though some in her clan whisper that she has only been given them to keep her out of the way, because of the condition she was born with. Jaime, thoughtful and anxious, is an Angler, but he hates the sea. To make matters worse, he's been chosen for a duty that has been outlawed by the clan for generations: to marry. The elders won't say why they have promised him to a girl from a neighboring island, but there are rumors of approaching danger. When disaster strikes and the clan is kidnapped, it is up to Agatha and Jaime to travel across mainland Scotia, a land devastated by a mysterious plague, where forgotten magic and dark secrets lurk in every shadow..."--Page [2] of cover.
