"UGH!!!!" according to C. Essner. This book is not written in language conducive to learning.Have you ever read a book that you felt the author used intimidating language when it was unnecessary? I feel like that is exactly what the author does in this text.I am a doctoral student, and have a great deal of difficulty pulling meaning from many portions of the text; despite my thorough history of reading challenging material.I would consult other sources before purchasing this text, as I would not purchase this again or recommend it to a friend.. Excelente! Excelente obra. Todos quienes estamos trabajando con el desarrollo de adultos debemos tener esta importante obra.
