This handbook, supported by the Canadian Society of Extension, covers a range of issues in the theory and delivery of extension education, from the theory of how adults learn to the latest in new technology. The chapters in the book were written by some of the world's leading figures in adult education.

This book provides suitable readings for college and university-level courses in these areas. It also is indispensable to anyone involved in extension, continuing and adult education, community and rural development.
