5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for every educator & policy maker, October 14, 1999

This review is from: Transformative Learning: Educational Vision for the 21st Century (Paperback)

This is a beautiful book. Beautiful in its clarity, depth, and vision, and for the wonderful hope it inspires.

While I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone, I deeply believe that Tranformative Learning should be made required reading for every University President, Minister of Education, and Professor on Earth.
