Based on extended interviews with adults of all ages, it shows how learning affects their health, family lives, and participation in civic life, revealing the downsides of education as well as the benefits. Full of detail from adults' own accounts of their lives, the book reveals how learning enables people to sustain themselves and their communities in the face of daily stresses and strains, as well as sometimes transforming their lives.
