Summary:

As with many areas of academic study, education theory is dominated by the work of a small group.This book examines and brings together the work of seventeen major thinkers and developers in the field of adult and continuing education, and shows how each has made a significant contribution to the field. The ideas of each are explored within a similar framework, and their work and its consequences is considered in detail.Revised from the first edition and now expanded to cover continuing education, the second edition includes the work of more recent and contemporary thinkers. As before it is certain to stimulate debate, controversy and interest. It will be required reading for all those working and researching in the field of adult education.
