N2  - "'Adult Education and Lifelong Learning' is regarded as one of the most widely used textbooks about adult education. Now part of the Routledge Education Classic Edition series, this key title combines the practical and philosophical to cover all areas related to the topic, including how we understand people as learners, how to teach adults, curriculum planning, distance education and assessment. It doesn't shy away from complexity and asks difficult questions to provoke the reader into thinking about what lifelong learning really means. Not your basic 'how-to' book, it combines practice with theory and points the way to further studies and engagement in the field. With a new introduction by Professor Sam Duncan to contextualise the work, this is a must-read text for all education students as well as practitioners and researchers in adult education and lifelong learning. Peter Jarvis (1937-2018) was an internationally renowned expert in the fields of lifelong learning, adult and continuing education and was founding editor of the International Journal of Lifelong Education (Taylor & Francis). He was Professor of Continuing Education at the University of Surrey, UK and was a former Adjunct Professor in the Department of Adult Education, University of Georgia, USA. Peter was a prolific author, whose publications include: The Routledge International Handbook of Lifelong Learning; Democracy, Lifelong Learning and the Learning Society and Globalization, Lifelong Learning and the Learning Society"--
