Group concept mapping is related to the growing interest in the role that theory plays in planning and evaluation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcept Mapping for Planning and Evaluation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Kane and Bill Trochim are the public face of “concept mapping” for most us who do planning and evaluation in public health.  This volume is an enormously helpful and comprehensive look at concept mapping not only for those unfamiliar with the concept, but for those, like me, who have experienced the approach as a consumer, but have interest in the intricacies of the “hows” and “added value” of concept mapping over other approaches.  Best of all, they do an exceptional job of using concept mapping to integrate planning and evaluation, linking the hermetically sealed boxes in which these disciplines often live in large organizations. -- Thomas Chapel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"At last, an up-to-date, how-to-text on concept mapping in evaluation!...Mary Kane and William Trochim, instrumental in the development and promotion of concept mapping, have finally produced such  book, which will enable experienced evaluators and program planners to add concept mapping to their suite of methods.\"\u003c\/em\u003e -- Rick Cummings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Acknowledgments 1.
