"...this is a book of immense importance to the field...It is precisely the way in which Pratt has taken
a lid off the often hidden world of teaching that guarantees that the book will be talked about for years to come."
This book is a blend of theory and practice, derived from several years of studying the teaching of adults in
Asia and North America. It presents five different perspectives on teaching adults. Perspectives are explained
as "something we look through, rather than at" as we go about the business of teaching. Each perspective
is described as an interrelated set of actions, intentions, and beliefs and then is illustrated within contexts
of adult education practice.
