Media Reviews
This very readable and practical book focuses on the growing trends in lifelong-learning programs and activities worldwide. Economic, educational, and political forces are moving the world toward a global society in which lifelong learning will be critical for any institution, community, or nation to prosper in the next millennium. Longworth, who is very well qualified to discuss this topic, focuses on examples principally from the UK and Europe related to this important, growing trend. He discusses what organizational forms and institutional activities are being developed, and what the future holds. He provides many useful lists, tables, and definitions that will help the reader to examine society's paradigm shift. All the chapters are efficiently organized and well researched. This book will appeal not only to general readers but to graduate students in a wide variety of areas, faculty, and professional practitioners in the area of education. --- W. C.
