Book Description
This book provides a contemporary and thought-provoking exploration of the concept of practical wisdom--what it is and how it can be incorporated into evaluation practice. It defines what practical wisdom is, explores its roots, where it stands today, what constitutes the "wise" evaluator, and how we can develop sound judgment in an unpredictable and chaotic time. It brings together evaluation thought leaders and practitioners to examine the concept of practical wisdom. The authors’ enlightening essays are interwoven with reflective strands comprised of commentaries, examples, and new ideas added by Hurteau and her colleagues that offer a recursive and intricate pattern of reflection on the topic of practical wisdom. This is a rare book because it moves beyond evaluation methodology to explore how practical wisdom can help us develop new and better solutions for difficult evaluation situations. It will become a standard reference for practitioners, trainers. and teachers of evaluation because it considers the history, ethics, and competencies that underpin practical wisdom, and examines the ways that this untaught skill can be applied, to do, as House says, “the right thing in the special circumstances of performing the job.”

Book Description
The EuropeanSymposium on Researchin Computer Security (ESORICS) has a tradition that goes back two decades. It tries to bring together the international research community in a top-quality event that covers all the areas of computer security, ranging from theory to applications. ESORICS 2010 was the 15th edition of the event. It was held in Athens, Greece, September 20-22, 2010. The conference received 201 submissions. The papers went through a careful review process. In a ?rst round, each paper - ceived three independent reviews. For the majority of the papers an electronic discussion was also organized to arrive at the ?nal decision. As a result of the review process, 42 papers were selected for the ?nal program, resulting in an - ceptance rate of as low as 21%. The authors of accepted papers were requested to revise their papers, based on the comments received. The program was c- pleted with an invited talk by Udo Helmbrecht, Executive Director of ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency). ESORICS 2010 was organized under the aegisof three Ministries of the G- ernment of Greece, namely: (a) the Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport, and Networks, (b) the General Secretariat for Information Systems of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and (c) the General Secretariat for e-Governance of the Ministry of Interior, Decentralization, and e-Government.

Book Description
Foundations of Program Evaluationheralds a thorough exploration of the field of program evaluation--looking back on its origins. By summarizing, comparing, and contrasting the work of seven major theorists of program evaluation, this book provides an important perspective on the current state of evaluation theory and provides suggestions for ways of improving its practice. Beginning in Chapter Two, the authors develop a conceptual framework to analyze how successfully each theory meets the specific criteria of its framework. Each subsequent chapter is devoted to the presentation of the theoretical and practical advice of a significant theorist--Michael Scriven, Donald Campbell, Carol Weiss, Joseph Wholey, Robert Stake, Lee Cronbach, and Peter Rossi.
