Learning for Educators

This is a great book that is compliment to Mezirow's work on transformative learning. I purchased this book as part of my Doctoral studies and have found it foundational to my understanding of self directed learning and the process utilized in my post graduate context. It is not an easy read if you have no background in this or a related field, but it provides a wonderful foundation for an educator interested in directing his or her own continued learning.
