Rezensionen

--Edward W. Taylor, professor of adult education, Penn State Harrisburg
"Merriam and Bierema's deep and expansive understanding of adult learning, theoretically and practically, across a variety of educational settings, makes this book a must for new practitioners and scholars."

--Victoria Marsick, professor of adult and organizational learning, Teacher's College, Columbia University
"Facilitators and educators of adults often ask me for a reference just like Merriam and Bierema's new book--one-stop shopping for foundational insight into how adults learn with a view to enhancing their practice. They need look no further! This up-to-date volume grounds sound thinking and effective approaches to educating adults in schools, higher education, organizations, communities, and many other settings."

--Jost Reischmann, professor emeritus, Bambrick University, Germany, and vice-president, International Society for Comparative Adult Education
"This compendium about the concepts of adult education spans profoundly across all the important ideas and discussions from its beginnings in one book. Still, students, professionals and scholars will find it reader-friendly and referring to one's own experience and practice. Great resource for international students."

--Youngwha Kee, professor, Department of Lifelong Education, Soongsil University
"This book offers a learning model and practice for those who are in or simply interested in adult learning. It is sure to provide inspiration and guidance regardless of one's cultural background or prior learning experience."

--Terry Carter, associate dean of professional instruction and faculty development, School of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University
"Anyone who teaches professional-level graduate students will love the practical focus and application-rich activities at the end of each chapter in this book--it will become my mainstay text for adult learning theory and practice."
