This third edition of Learning in Adulthood builds on material in the 1999 edition, bringing together the important contributions of the past decade to our understanding of adult learning. While we have preserved important foundational material (such as a discussion of andragogy), we have also brought to bear the most recent thinking and research. We have strived to put together a comprehensive overview and synthesis of what we know about adult learning: the context in which it takes place, who the participants are, what they learn and why, the nature of the learning process itself, new approaches to adult learning, the development of theory in adult learning, and other issues relevant to understanding adult learning.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n—From the Preface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"null2\"\u003ePrevious praise for \u003ci\u003eLearning in Adulthood\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"An essential volume in adult education.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n—\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This book is extremely useful in that it provides an informed overview of issues related to adult learning.
