Yet at the same time, a multibillion-dollar enterprise has arisen in response to adult learning interests- an enterprise that spends more dollars than elementary schools, high schools, and postsecondary schools combined. Indeed, the field of adult and continuing education is characterized by a bewildering array of programs, agencies, and personnel working to assist adults in their learning. It is precisely the focus on adults as learners, however, that unites an otherwise extraordinarily diverse field. It is also the life context of adults and some of the distinguishing characteristics of the adult learning process that differentiate adult education from other kinds of education. To facilitate the process of learning, it is especially important to know who the adult learner is, how the social context shapes the learning that adults are engaged in, why adults are involved in learning activities, how adults learn, and how aging affects learning ability. Learning in Adulthood addresses these topics, among others. 410 0$aJossey-Bass higher and adult education series. 606 $aAdult learning 606 $aLearning 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAdult learning. 615 0$aLearning. 676 $a374 700 $aMerriam$b Sharan B$0877175 701 $aBaumgartner$b Lisa$f1964-$0877176 701 $aCaffarella$b Rosemary S$g(Rosemary Shelly),$f1946-$0877177 712 02$aCredo Reference (Firm) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458885303321 996 $aLearning in adulthood$91958555 997 $aUNINA
