<p><strong>'... [a] thorough and revealing study of adult students in higher education. West's study is worth singling out because, apart from its other virtues, it makes us stop and think about some of the ways in which people cateogorise learning and actively tackle it within the context of their daily lives, challenging us to look again at our interpretation of survey and other data ... Linden West's vivid and moving portrait of learner identities...'</strong> - <em> Professor John Field, University of Warwick, for Adults' Learning</em></p>
