Media Reviews
Especially helpful are some of the schematic drawings and diagrams that illustrate at a glance what the authors (describe)...Overall the book presents a wide array of approached to adult learning, and ...there are helpful and accessible insights here. -- Teaching Theology and Religion The contributors to 'Adult Learning: a Reader' have done their research in a British setting, although familiarity with the field's common sources is evident.... Editor Sutherland's role goes beyond attempting to link the different articles. He ends the book by giving concise insights about the implications of the contributors' research for the teaching of adults, and attempts to sketch the ideal teaching structure for adults........As Sutherland points out, research paints a complex portrait of mature or adult learners, representing considerable challenges for administrators and teachers. (The book) is a useful guide for continuing education researchers and practitioners. --- Continuing Higher Education Review
