About the Book

The single most important contribution to our field's knowledgebase in the past two decades. The authors have managed to shift thefocus of adult education back to the social concerns that weretaken for granted when the field was founded. We are ready for thislong overdue book. Indeed, we have been yearning for this book. Itwill tilt our field back towards its moral center.
--B. Allan Quigley, chair, Department of AdultEducation, St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia

Power in Practice is a wonderful book--full of case studies, updated theories, new perspectives, and evidence that adulteducation can and does change people's lives.
--Michael Newman, senior lecturer in adult education, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia
