Outliers has landed!
Finally received Outliers today...it hit the shelves on June 7, and I had pre-ordered it from good ol' Amazon. I'm a little puzzled as to how this book relates to adult education, but hey, it is on Dr. K's list and according to the back cover, "Gladwell presents a fascinating and provocative blueprint for making the most of human potential," which makes this transformative learning proponent happy.
