`A thorough and comprehensive study, offering an international
perspective and an opportunity to enrich the user's understanding
of the education of adults throughout the world. It is a useful
tool kit of the contemporary adult educator.' - Albsu - The Basic
Skills Unit
`In this very portable document, the specialist or the novice will
find easily succinct but useful information on adult education
institutions, associations, organizations and foundations, and will
learn more about individuals who have influenced the field whether
as practitioners or as researchers. [The book] is certainly a
welcome addition to any specialized collection on the subjects of
adult education and adult basic education, and even more so on the
desks and shelves of practitioners and researchers in these fields.
Peter Jarvis must be commended for a tremendous effort which
resulted in a reference tool of quality.' - Convergence
