Yet because of the extreme diversity of settings and purposes from learning English as a second language and on-the-job training to graduate coursework the literature of the adult learning field is diffuse. Bringing together the seminal works of K. Patricia Cross, J. Roby Kidd, Malcolm Knowles, and others, as well as the most recent adult learning theories and research, Merriam and Caffarella provide a comprehensive overview of all that is known about adult learning including the context in which adult learning takes place, what the participants learn and why, the nature of the learning process itself, and the issues relevant to the practice of adult learning. "This book is intended primarily for educators of adults. We have organized the material so that it will make sense to readers who are new to adult education and will at the same time challenge those who are already familiar with the knowledge base of the field. The organization and presentation of this material reflect our struggle over the years to find the best way to organize courses, workshops, and seminars in adult learning and development for audiences with varying levels of expertise. We have striven to put together a text that is at once readable, thorough, and up-to-date in its coverage" from the preface.
