In Britain and elsewhere, governments want to encourage citizens to learn and to apply their learning across their lifespan. This book explores the background to this sudden rise of interest among policy makers, maps existing patterns of participation, evaluates the measures being developed to promote lifelong learning, assesses the prospects of achieving a viable learning society and refers to evidence gathered in the course of empirical investigations.

An important and original study...a book which will prove stimulating from beginning to end for all those with an interest in lifelong learning. --Journal of Philosophy of Education
I would recommend this book for its succinct summary of the main issues related to lifelong learning, for its challenges to some beliefs about the impact of social, economic and cultural changes on individuals and organisations, and for its consistent and sometimes passionate (and compassionate) argument throughout. --Studies in continuing Education
An authoritative and compelling account (that)provides a broad vista in a few pages... fluent and highly accessible. --Higher Education Review
John Field is the first Professor of Lifelong Learning in Britain at Warwick University and is recognized as a leading authority in this field. He has lectured widely in the US and elsewhere in the English speaking world.
