This review has been accessed times since May 22, 2002 Learning from Our Lives:  Using Educational Biographies with Adults .  San Francisco, Jossey-Bass Inc. Pp. xxiii + 206 $28     ISBN 0-7879-1031-7 Reviewed by Olga L. O'Hearn Norfolk State University May 22, 2002 (This review is also available in Spanish.) Learning from Our Lives is to provide "a detailed exploration of the reasons for, a rationale for, using educational biography approaches in adult education" (p. xviii).  Adult learners, adult educators, and those in the health professions, in politics, and religious studies can benefit from the experience of writing or reading an educational biography, as it is not just an individual's story but the story of society as well, it gives an insight on how adults learn, what they learn, and what motivates them to learn. Based on this author's work with about one hundred adults who submitted their educational biographies as a requisite for one of the courses taught at the University of Geneva, this book comes out as an essential guide to those who wish to incorporate the life history approach in their field of study or work.  The examples he uses, although not abundant, are representative of the diverse group that forms adult learners. The book reinforces what is most stressed by Cyril O. Houle (1988) in

Resources Malcolm Knowles Malcolm Knowles: Apostle of Andragogy Text reprinted with permission from article by Robert Carlson in Vitae Scholasticae, 8:1 (Spring 1989). Knowles: The Early Years Knowles' optimistic confidence in individualism, self-help, and the democratic process was nurtured by his experience. The son of a veterinarian, Knowles imbibed the business spirit sweeping Florida in the mid-1920s. He channeled his entrepreneurial spirit toward risks befitting a youth, venturing into the nearby Everglades to hunt baby alligators to sell and also to collect and mount exotic butterflies to market to museums. In 1928, he set out to win a major national prize for Boy Scouts, a free trip in the next year to a world Jamboree of Scouting in Birkenhead, England, for the American scout who earned the largest number of merit badges. His achievement of some fifty merit badges won him that coveted trip. His campaign for the scouting prize had not been hit or miss. He had developed a technique that would help him compete effectively. He drew a large chart with a separate square for each day of the nine month contest. In these squares he systematically planned out the activities he would perform during the year to win the badges. Finding a technique that worked for him, he was convinced it could work for others. "My mother trained me to be systematical," the sixteen-year-old Malcolm told readers of

78. Amos Bronson Alcott: Biography His meager formal education was supplemented by omnivorous reading, The School of Philosophy was probably the first adult education center in the nation http://www.alcott.net/alcott/home/biography.html

Life of Amos Bronson Alcott Amos Bronson Alcott was born on November 29, 1799, in Wolcott, Connecticut, and died on March 4, 1888. He was an author teacher , conversationalist, philosopher, and outspoken advocate of educational and social reform The son of a flax farmer, Alcott taught himself to read by forming letters in charcoal on a wooden floor. Through sheer willpower and dedication to the ideal he educated himself and guided his genius to expression as a progressive educator and leader of the New England Transcendentalists. His meager formal education was supplemented by omnivorous reading, while he gained a living from farming, working in a clock factory, and as a peddler in the American South. He set out at fifteen as a peddler. With the design of adding to the family income he traveled through a part of the South, but returned with an empty pack and four hundred dollars in debt. This experience was typical of later ones; he was nothing if not unpractical. Bronson Alcott was unique in the way he embodied and lived out his transcendentalist ideas, passionately embracing his various causes. At age 26, he tried schoolteaching in Cheshire, Connecticut. As an educator he believed that all knowledge and moral guidance spring from inner sources, and it is the teacher's role to help these unfold in a beneficial way. He introduced art, music, nature study, and physical education to his classes at a time when these subjects were not taught. He founded a series of schools in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, based in part on
