This monograph is a gift… a unique personal perspective on a model of education that was actually designed, implemented, and studied, and on a vast array of work done by educational theorists and philosophers involved in adult education, professional education and Social Work education over the last half century.
— Ben Zion Shapiro, professor emeritus, faculty of social work, University of Toronto
The work of Dr. Sonnheim and Dr. Lehman is timely considering the economic demands made on universities today. Excellence need not be compromised, and the quality of education can continue to pursue its goals and aspirations…the book will be a source of enlightenment to faculty and students. I recommend it highly.
