Reviews

Hager and Beckett's book is a rich, valuable and often successful attempt to shift our understanding of learning, performance and work to a new level. ... Perhaps the positivism queried above has a bright side, too, in that people who are unfamiliar with fields like structuralism, or who have conceived an aversion to some of these ways of thinking, may be stimulated by concepts like co-present groups, non-linearity and emergence to reimagine professional and technical education and training. (Steven Hodge, International Journal of Lifelong Education, Vol. 39 (5-6), 2020)
