| | | | "Written by experienced adult educators, the book avoids complex management jargon. Although the book draws on important theories and models from research in the field of management, the authors take care to present the information in the language of an adult
education program developer." -- Bradley C. Courtenay, The University of Georgia.
"Overall, I can recommend this book as a good introduction to the art and practice of administering programs within more traditional adult, community, and continuing education settings." -- Faye Wiesenberg, The University of Calgary, Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education, Vol. 24, No. 1, Spring 1998. |
