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. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 588 Description based on title page of print version. 590 Credo Reference. 590 Credo Reference|bGeneral Reference 650 0 Adult learning.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh90003108 650 7 Adult learning.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/797364 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Caffarella, Rosemary S.|q(Rosemary Shelly),|d1946-|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n86072750 700 1 Baumgartner, Lisa,|d1964-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n99018022 710 2 Credo Reference (Firm)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2007075121 776 08 |iPrint version:|z0787975885|z9780787975883|w(DLC) 2006019145|hxvi, 533 p. : ill. 830 0 Jossey-Bass higher and adult education series.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n90680406 856 40 |zOnline eBook via Credo Reference.
