“ Insights and practical suggestions to college educators for whom teaching 
students is a major part of their professional responsibility. . . . [Brookfi eld] will 
become to the fi eld of education what Peter Drucker has become to manage-
ment: a scholar who educates and infl uences practitioners in the fi eld through 
incisive and challenging writing.”

“ Readable, innovative, and perceptive. . . . The fi nal chapters on the political 
realities and phenomenological truths of college teaching alone are worth the 
price of the book, especially for prospective, new, or veteran college, adult, or 
continuing education teachers.”
 
—Choice
 
“ In an educational world that seems to be dominated by prescriptive exhorta-
tions. . .this book provides a refreshing step back from those preoccupations 
to look at the human relations that always are at play between teacher and 
student and between student and student.”
