4.0 out of 5 stars
Quite a informative book,
By Nongluck Manowaluilou (Columbia, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Update on Adult Development Theory: New Ways of Thinking About the Life Course: New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education (J-B ACE Single ... Adult & Continuing Education) (Paperback)
This book is by far a great additional book to update adult learning concepts. You need to pretty much know the basic conecpts of adult learning. It didn't provide a great explanational details, therefore you will need to have some prior background understandings in conjunction with this book.
