Adult education and lifelong learning Book

This is the third edition of Peter Jarvis' classic text, which established itself as the most widely used and respected book about adult education today. In this new edition, the author has made extensive revisions and included substantial additional material to take account of the many changes that have occurred in the field of adult education. The book begins with a rationale for the provision of education for adults and analyzes contemporary theory before going on to give practical advice on the curriculum development and the teaching of adults. Students of the education of adults will find it an invaluable course companion, while practitioners in the field of adult and continuing education and lifelong learning will find much in this book that is relevant to their day-to-day work.
