Summary:

"Third age" learning is increasingly commonplace, as is the provision for teaching those in later life, whether it is pre-retirement training provided by employers or more formal education. Alongside this, the study of gerontology is now common as part of education studies and on most nursing, social work and medical courses. This is a book about learning throughout the whole of life. Written as a text for both educators and carers, it demonstrates how the learning process works though life and how learning at all stages of life is best achieved
