2400 BC. The dawn of the Bronze Age. The era of Stonehenge. Swept off course by the tides at the end of his first trading voyage, his boat overturned and his companions gone, Amzai is washed up on the shores of an unknown land. As he recovers, he finds Nanti, a young woman, caring for him. If Amzai is to have any hope of survival, let alone return home, he must first master the unfamiliar language and customs of Nanti's tribe. As the summer ends, Amzai and Nanti embark on a journey of discovery that will change not only their lives, but those of everyone around them. Only when they arrive at their destination will they realise the significance of the voyage they have undertaken, and understand their roles in the new world that it has brought into being. Undreamed Shores is a historical novel full of adventure and discovery.
How can programs and organizations ensure they are adhering to core principles--and assess whether doing so is yielding desired results? From evaluation pioneer Michael Quinn Patton, this book introduces the principles-focused evaluation (P-FE) approach and demonstrates its relevance and application in a range of settings. Patton explains why principles matter for program development and evaluation and how they can serve as a rudder to navigate the uncertainties, turbulence, and emergent challenges of complex dynamic environments. In-depth exemplars illustrate how the unique GUIDE framework is used to determine whether principles provide meaningful guidance (G) and are useful (U), inspiring (I), developmentally adaptable (D), and evaluable (E). User-friendly features include rubrics, a P-FE checklist, firsthand reflections and examples from experienced P-FE practitioners, sidebars and summary tables, and end-of-chapter application exercises.

79 AD. As he approaches the end of his life, Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus, the native-born but loyally pro-Roman client king of Britain, looks back on the thirty-six years of his reign. He recalls how, as a young man, he was seduced by the grandeur of Rome and the beauty of the written word; how he was befriended by the Emperor Claudius, and by the Roman General, Vespasian, later to rule as Emperor himself. He remembers the difficulties he encountered whilst trying to mediate between the British aristocracy and Roman officials who were often cruel and frequently corrupt. Most significantly he reflects on the Boudiccan revolt of 60/61 AD, which he tried to prevent, and in the course of which Britain was almost lost to Rome. Roman Britain. One man. His fate.
