This book sets current policy and practice concerns against the backdrop of community education and employs case studies to chart the developments and changes that have taken place in FE. 'The authors have pulled togesther much recent research and provide not only an excellent synthesis of those studies, but also some illuminating thoughts of their own.' - Ian Duckett, Learning and Skills Research 'This is a thoroughly stimulating book ... One has to read the book, and anybody involved in further education, however obliquely, could probably benefit from doing so.' - www.escalate.ac.uk
