It is a veritable feast for nourishing our understanding of the current field of adult education. The editors and their well-chosen colleagues consistently question how we know and upon what grounds we act. They invite us to consider not only how we can design effective adult education, but also why we practice in a particular socio-economic context.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Jane Vella, author of Taking Learning to Task and Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"This new handbook captures the exciting intellectual and professional development of our field in the last decade.

In this new edition, over sixty leading authorities share their diverse perspectives in a single volume--exploring a wealth of topics, including: learning from experience, adult learning for self-development, race and culture in adult learning, technology and distance learning, learning in the workplace, adult education for community action and development, and much more. Much more than a catalogue of theory and historical facts, this handbook strongly reflects the values of adult educators and instructors who are dedicated to promoting social and educational opportunity for learners and to sustaining fair and ethical practices.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eARTHUR L.
