Literature in Adult Education
This book is a blend of theory and practice, derived from several years of studying the teaching of adults in Asia and North America. It presents five different perspectives on teaching adults. Perspectives are explained as "something we look through, rather than at" as we go about the business of teaching. Each perspective is described as an interrelated set of actions, intentions, and beliefs and then is illustrated within contexts of adult
education practice. |

that the book will be talked about for years to come." -- Sean Courtney, Adult Education Quarterly, Vol. 49, Number 4, Summer 1999 |
