"I recommend this book to teachers of any experience. ...It is an easy book to read and the illustrations/diagrams make the points meaningful. In addition, the book has a comprehensive bibliopraphy, for those who wish to read more about any topic in the book." National Association for Staff Development in the Post 16 sector How can we make our teaching of adults more effective?
 In the 3rd edition of this bestselling text, Alan Rogers draws upon a range of recent work on adult lifelong learning to address this key question, by looking at what is distinctive about adult learning and teaching. Based on nearly 40 years of practical experience in a variety of contexts in the UK and overseas, the book discusses what it is that makes helping adults to learn different from teaching younger students. It is concerned with both basic principles and useful hints for teachers and, as such, it will be of value to teachers and programme organisers, to students on adult education courses, to policy makers and to administrators. The emphasis throughout is on the practice of teaching through greater understanding of what it is that we are doing - and the author speaks with involvement and from experience. 
 There is much that is new in this revised edition. It provides a comprehensive and up to date handbook for students and practitioners with important insights into contemporary understandings of how adults learn both formally and informally, and how they can be helped to learn. Its overall theme - that of making the natural and largely subconscious learning which all adults do both more conscious and more effective - resonates with current thinking and has received much support from the growth of interest in adult learning outside formal learning situations. An invaluable resource for lecturers and trainers, this book will also appeal to those such as health visitors and clergy who are primarily engaged in other activities.

Rural Housing: Competition and Choice (Routledge Library Editions: Housing Policy and Home Ownership)

Originally published in 1981, this book explores the plight of the locally born or locally employed faced with spiralling house prices and strong and unequal competition from the wealthier commuter, second-home owner or retirement migrant. It was the first book to examine the policy and planning issues in relation to these problems from the starting point of basic research and analysis.

Optoelectronics is a science and a technology based on the conjunction of optics with electronics. The special advantages of such a conjunction should become clear as the reader progresses through the book but, broadly, they result from the large speed and information-carrying capacity of light coming into alliance with the ready controllability of electrons. 8 1 The great speed of light is weil known ( ...... 3 x 10 m s- in a vacuum); it is, in fact, the greatest speed which is possible for any form of physical energy, as was elucidated by Einstein in his special theory of relativity (1905); and it is not so very long ago ( c. 1640) that many scientists held the view that the speed of light was infinite. The large information-carrying capacity of light derives from the high frequency of its oscillations. The implication is that optical processes occur 14 on a time-scale of order one optical period ( ...... 10- sec), and thus that they can absorb and convey information on the same kind of time-scale, leading to information rates of the order of the optical frequency. Electrons, unlike photons, carry electrical charge. As a consequence they respond to electric and magnetic fields, which thus can be used to control and manipulate them. This is a significant advantage, since mod ern electronics provides finely adjustable fields at a sophisticated Ievel of flexibility.
