5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST read for all Educators!, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

As an adventure "consultant" I found "Processing the Experience" one of the top three books I recommend to others in the education and/or adventure field. There are so many excellent ideas covering such a wide area of interest that it has become a reference book as I start design or facilitate a new program.

The book covers educational, corporate, family, and theraputic venues. I especially enjoyed the chapter on "edge work" because of it's application to challenge course work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learned it as a Student - Live with it now, March 31, 2000

By	"solecist77" (western NY, USA) - See all my reviews

I was introduced to this book in my Outoor Leadership Training classat Houghton College and I was so impressed and impacted by it I laterwrote a manual for the camp I worked for using this book as one of the primary sources.

Whatever you are doing this will help you make an impact and teach you a great deal about learning with people. It has greatly improved my leadership skills in my outdoor education positions. This book enlightens so many of the fuzzy areas of group procesing and managing a group or person for growth experiences. Its division and explanation of the edge experience is priceless. END

5.0 out of 5 stars An indispensible & seminal text for experiential educators!, August 26, 2001

By	M. Pardee "Lifelong-Learner" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book looms as large on my experiential education bookshelf as David Kolb's seminal ur-text, "Experiential Learning." But whereas the latter has a more theoretical bent, Luckner & Nadler's work here is eminently practical, as well. "Processing..." is rife with pedagogical nuggets that are immediately applicable to all sorts of experiential learning contexts. Moreover, it's a very user-friendly work. No experiential educator worth his or her salt should be without this absolutely indispensible volume.
