The book "Transforming Perspectives in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education" offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary analysis of the topic of adult education and lifelong learning. It highlights the complex and often challenging aspects of personal transformation in the context of social, cultural, and psychological factors. The authors, including Laura Formenti and Linden West, examine the tensions associated with the concept of "transformative learning" and demonstrate that transformation is not merely a simple necessity but is also deeply rooted in individual life contexts. Through auto/biographical approaches and consideration of differences in language, gender, and culture, the discussion about the significance of change and the associated challenges is enriched. This book is aimed at students and scholars engaged with the themes of transformative education and social justice.
