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.

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.

For this to be a textbook used for a graduate class it was relatively cheap. I will be search Amazon.com for the rest of my textbooks.

This book has good information, but it is somewhat tedious in that the information is not necessarily presented in an engaging fashion.

I purchased this book for a graduate course in post-secondary education. The book is very well written and the authors obviously know their field. However, so far the book feels hurried. The authors only touch on complex ideals without explaining them. The theories of adult education are many and varied and need a more thourough description than these authors afford them. For the new student, this book leaves one feeling confused and rushed. As a student, I’m not very impressed with it’s content.
