The Profession and Practice of Adult Education: An Introduction

The textbook, The Profession and Practice of Adult Education: An Introduction, was sent to me promptly and was in new condition. I also appreciate the opportunity to purchase the online version of the book. That has been very helpful.

Great for a textbook

I used this as a textbook in an adult education class. I really enjoyed the text. The chapters brought adult education to a new light & was very interesting.

Good for studying

I needed this book for an online course. It was interesting that this book could spur so many new ideas that I have now. I learned that many historical figures that I have admired as authors, performers, and scientists, could be adult educators because of the stances to think, to change, and to influence others in society.
