Michael Quinn Patton’s Blue Marble Evaluation is a forward-looking, path-breaking, and timely contribution to evaluation theory and practice. The title of the book evokes the Blue Marble shot—a photograph of the whole earth taken by the Apollo 17 astronauts in 1972. The preface of the book displays the first image of our lonely planet captured from space in 1968 (Earthrise). It elicited the following comment by an Apollo 8 crew member: “We came all this way to explore the moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth.” This is the bracing perspective offered by Blue Marble Evaluation, an audacious publication designed to make evaluation truly matter in a world facing existential risks.

书评:蓝色大理石评估:前提和原则

Michael Quinn Patton 的 Blue Marble Evaluation 是对评估理论和实践的前瞻性、开创性和及时的贡献。这本书的标题让人联想到蓝色大理石镜头——1972 年阿波罗 17 号宇航员拍摄的整个地球的照片。这本书的前言展示了 1968 年从太空拍摄的我们孤独星球的第一张照片(地出)。它引起了阿波罗 8 号机组人员的以下评论:“我们一路来探索月球,最重要的是我们发现了地球。” 这是 Blue Marble Evaluation 提供的令人振奋的观点,这是一本大胆的出版物,旨在使评估在面临生存风险的世界中真正重要。
