"This is the first in-depth treatment of the connection between the literature of adult development and the practice of adult education.

I recommend it to all who take learner-centered education seriously." --Stephen Brookfield, distinguished professor, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota "A gold mine of advice for adult educators, based on a masterful overview of the literature of adult intelligence and adult development. The authors are remarkably open and sensitive to the potential for adult learners." --William H. Maehl, president emeritus, The Fielding Graduate Institute "Tennant and Pogson reaffirm the importance of psychology as a foundation for understanding and working successfully with adult learners." --Ralph G.
