It is a veritable feast for nourishing our understanding of the current field of adult education.

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\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface.  \u003cp\u003eThe Editors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART ONE: INTRODUCTION.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 A Selective History of the Adult Education Handbooks (\u003ci\u003eA.
