| ADULT LEARNING, ADULT TEACHING, 4TH EDITION [John Daines; With Carolyn Daines & Brian Graham] Regarded as a classic text amongst teachers of adults and those working with adult groups in a variety of professional and adult community settings, 'Adult Learning, Adult Teaching' has now been enlarged, updated and thoroughly revised for this fourth edition. This new fourth edition retains the direct and practical approach that has proved so successful with thousands of practitioners and contains additional chapters on : learning styles; equal opportunities; self-presentation; difficult students and ‘reluctant attenders’; practical planning; attendance and drop-out; the observation of teaching and learning; guidance, progression and ‘what next’; a real student’s experiences of adult education with a matched critique addressed to her tutor. REVIEW: "Always a good buy, Adult Learning Adult Teaching is very readable and gives the most practical help to tutors of any subject. This fully revised fourth edition, with a number of new sections, brings the book bang up to date. If there was one piece of essential reading I would want for my tutors it would be this book!" -- Margaret Davey, former Principal, City Lit. "...Hellishly practical, this volume is a must for those who want theory and realism in practical teaching…it grounds the esoteric in useable tips and applications" -- Adults Learning."I cannot praise the publication too highly" -- International Journal of Lifelong Education"...should become part of every adult educator’s mental furniture" -- Adult Education. { 214pp, 140x230mm, August 2006; PB, £14.95, 1860571158:9781860571152 , Welsh Academic Press } |
| AMERICAN WEST : The Invention of a Myth [David Hamilton Murdoch] The Wild West of Hollywood and American folklore is nothing more than a functional myth asserts D.H. Murdoch in The American West, which for the first time, presents a sustained analysis of how the myth originated, and why? He demonstrates that the myth was invented, for the most part deliberately, and then outgrew the purpose of its inventors. Murdoch answers the questions which have too often been ignored. Why should the American West become the focus for myth in the first place and why, given the long process of Western settlement, is the cowboy the mythic hero? And why should the myth have retained its potency up to the last decade of the twentieth century? { 136pp, 135x215mm, August 2001; PB, £14.95, 1860570127:9781860570124 / HB, £35.00, 1860570119:9781860570117 , Welsh Academic Press } |
