Industry Reviews

"Although this is a book that should, rightly, become a core text in adult educator training and development programmes, it also, more broadly, promotes the importance of assuming a critical position in our work as educators." (The Adult Learner 2016: The Irish Journal of Adult and community Education, October 2016)
