An extremely useful collection of articles on adult education. This book expands and elevates our understanding of this underestimated modality of education and its role in social change by bringing together multiple aspects ? from culture, gender, identity, and policy to instruments and sites for knowledge transmission and production. Learning with Adults: A Reader constitutes the most valuable practical and theoretical reflection on adult education I have seen in a long time. Nelly P. Stromquist, Professor, International Education Policy, College of Education University of Maryland, College ParkThis book provides an opportunity at a very appropriate moment to discuss adult education issues during challenging times. It includes discussions on lifelong learning, the learning society, diversity of practices, learning in everyday life and policies. Therefore, the reader might find an engaged debate upon relevant subjects and an interesting problematization of contemporary dilemmas. Paula Guimaraes, University of LisbonThis Adult Education Reader is unusual and remarkable. It is not usual to have renowned social theorists who are situated outside the field of adult learning included with many prominent adult learning theorists. Readers are invited to a large table filled with delectable goods from many cultures and contexts. Read and savour delights and surprises. Michael Welton, University of British Columbia and Athabasca UniversityThis is an important book Peter Mayo has put together with an impressive range of articles and with many of the more important names in adult education. It satisfies everything one could desire of a reader on the subject. Kenneth Wain, University of Malta
