Books by Brookfield

Stephen D. Brookfield analyzes current approaches to adult learning, presents a comprehensive review of the research on how adults learn, and proposes ways to develop more innovative adult learning programmes.

"The Power of Critical Theory" makes a case for how the work of leading critical theorists can help adult educators and learners make sense of the pressing dilemmas, contradictions and frustrations they experience in their work.

Introducing critical thinking, this book looks at general ways in which people can be helped to become critical thinkers, and also reviews opportunities for developing critical thinking in specific contexts.
