This unusual and provocative book takes a fresh look at learning for work focusing on a group of diverse individuals who reflect on their learning over time. It is organized around a rich array of personal accounts over their work lives. This fascinating material provides the basis for exploring issues such as how people learn to create their work practices, how this changes over time through the mostly informal influences on them, and how they enquire into their own development. Current ideas about these matters are used to investigate these narratives and to identify a framework for occupational education, not conventionally as it can be taught, but as it is experienced and navigated by practitioners. David Boud, Emeritus Professor, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology, Sydney.
