Report
'This wise book is written in a lively and perceptive fashion, using brief learning narratives with insightful observations. It is a joy to read and accessible to all adult educators. It should become an essential basic text on facilitating adult learning. ' - Jack Mezirow, Emeritus Professor of Adult & Continuing Education Teachers College, Columbia University, USA
'This book would be an interesting read for any adult educator wanting to stand back and reflect on their relationships with students, or for a novice looking for ideas about negotiating learning with adults. Some of the case studies would also provide useful teaching materials, especially as prompts to reflection, for use in courses for adult educators. - Helen Colley, University of Leeds
