Abstract
Developing Adult Learners: Strategies for Teachers and TrainersKathleen Taylor, Catherine Marienau & Morris FiddlerSan Francisco: Jossey-Bass Higher Education Series, 2000391 pp. ISBN 0-7879-4573-0Although I could not find the cost of this book on either www.amazon.com or the Swedish book site www.bokus.se I anticipate that it will be very expensive outside the United States. I reviewed the hardcover edition and, depending on cost, I believe a lot of adult educators will get good value from it. It is, in terms of content and intention, an update of Patrica Cranton's pearl, Working with Adult Learners, which was published by Wall and Emerson in Toronto in 1992. I used Cranton's text when teaching adult educators at the Northern Territory University and although it cost AUS$50 for a paperback few of the teacher trainees complained once they started to use it. Like Cranton's book Developing Adult Learners is basically a mix of some adult education theory and lots of practical ways of working with adults and improving the quality of their learning.
