`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

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
