"This monumental work is a testimony to the science of adult education and the skills of Wilson and Hayes. It is a veritable feast for nourishing our understanding of the current field of adult education.

They invite us to consider not only how we can design effective adult education, but also why we practice in a particular socio-economic context."
—Jane Vella, author of Taking Learning to Task and Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach
"This new handbook captures the exciting intellectual and professional development of our field in the last decade. It is an indispensable resource for faculty, students, and professionals."
—Jack Mezirow, emeritus professor, Adult and Continuing Education, Teachers College, Columbia University
