Enhancing Disaster and Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Through Evaluation: New Directions for Evaluation, No. 126
The first priniciple of humanitarian assistance is "do no harm." The second might be, "do better " Enter the evaluation of emergency and disaster management.

A number of important themes are addressed: OL {list-style: disc} P: {margin-left 60px} systemic assessment of needs interagency coordiantion evaluation of responses in real time evaluation in international and national jurisdictions Chapters discuss where the evaluation of humanitarian practice and emergency and disaster management currently stands, and where it should be going. Our humanitarian impulse, as in the aftermaths of the Rwandan genocide, Hurricane Katrina, the Indian Ocean tsunami, and the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, is an enduring quality. The route from donor to affected population is long and varied. When sudden, unprecedented needs are juxtaposed with expectional levels of charitable responses, the question is whether the responses were good enough. Did supply meet demand? Was it the right thing? Was it done well? Who received support? Was it appropriate? Was the timing right? Can it be improved? All are questions for evaluation. For populations traumatized by disaster, the answers have consequences for protection, for restoration of individual and community efficacy, and ultimately for hope and dignity. This is the 126th volume of the volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series "New Directions for Evaluation," an official publication of the American Evaluation Association.

There Are No Secrets: Professor Cheng Man Ch'ing and His T'Ai Chi Chuan
"Wolfe Lowenthal's quiet little memoir will with window-opening wisdom reinforce, I think, my view of how Cheng stood on Tai Chi. It tells how a young writer reacted to this strange Chinese man when he appeared in New York City in the mid-1960s and stayed there for a decade before returning to Taiwan to die in 1975. In a nickel town where neurosis is a cardinal virtue, the Tai Chi center established by Cheng soon became an oasis of learning. In my visits there I was invariably approached by a quiet fellow with a ready smile and loads of questions. His form and sensing hands improved but he never lost his kindly ways.

That man who has since become a teacher of the art is the author if this book." -Robert W. Smith, from the Preface
