"FutureWork offers the first comprehensive overview of adult
learning."-Frances Ryan, D.C., Ph.D., Associate Professor Chair,

"FutureWork provides the "missing link" to Quality and helps answer
the question, "How can we get employees to be better thinkers and
problem solvers?"-Hope Freeland Manager, Training and Development
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
?The book FutureWork is a terrific example of how research can be
compiled so that training and development practitioners can put it
to use immediately.?-Training & Development
?This thoughtful and provocative presentation of the role of
business in preparing its human resources for the 21st century is
written to enable trainers to increase the power and scope of
educational programs for the work-force. It is equally relevant to
the academic community in structuring business curricula to prepare
students to think critically and creatively, to solve problems, to
exercise judgment, and to learn new skills and knowledge throughout
a lifetime. Each chapter is well researched and clearly written,
and contains an extensive list of references. Pertinent to business
faculties as well as to those responsible for continuing education
programs. Graduate; faculty; professional.?-Choice
?What separates this book from others that promote management and
employee training efforts is that it is well-informed,
well-written, well-researched, clearly illustrated, and chock-full
of case studies and examples. Several features of this book are
particularly outstanding. First is the authors' genuine
understanding of the deep educational needs of American workers.
Second, the authors emphasize a cognitive information process over
behavioral approaches to worker training and education. Finally,
unlike many "how-to" books, this book actually tells one "how to."
I recommend this book to those involved in adult business
education.?- Personnel Psychology
