The problems and possibilities of this "Third Age" serve as the material for...

Handbook of Adult Development and Learning
ISBN: 9780195171907 / Angielski / Twarda / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The synchronicity between development and learning is responsible for positive changes in many capacities, including insight, intelligence, reflective and meta-cognition, personality...
