This was required for a class, but I found it simple, easy to read, and full of good information....I recommend it.
It was a required book for my graduate course, but I found it useful in many other instances. It is short and to the point, and it's information about informal learning in museums is what I found most helpful.
Great guide. It is geared towards museums, though. Something to keep in mind.
I eroded in making this purchase,I failed to check closely what it covered. I accept this as being my error.
