Through the analysis of theory, research and practice, this Handbook provides the reader with a clear, global picture of workplace learning.

′Over the past decade, workplace learning has become one of the major areas of development for business, management and educationYet ideas about it are diverse and complex and its practice is affected by competing influences and differing perspectives. This essential guide brings together many of the world′s leading scholars to clarify and explore the various concepts and approaches in ways that will benefit practitioners, researchers, educators and policymakers alike′

"I would recommend it to both serious academics and those who frivolously wish to sample the topic." -- Fiona Reeve * London Review of Education *
As a nurse, manager and now researcher concerned with healthcare education I found this volume interesting and thought provoking... this volume provides a starting point to explore the evidence underpinning workplace learning, and encourages a wider appreciation of different perspectives and different work places. -- Nigel Davies
