Feminist perspectives with . . .
In a Different Voice by Carol Gilligan
Woman’s Ways of Knowing by Belenky, Clinchy, Goldgerger & Tarule
I'm familiar with both books from prior coursework and recommendations; but is this the time/place for either book to further my own learning?
The others . . .
Ethical Issues in Adult Education by Ralph Brockett
I’m very familiar with Brockett as an adult education textbook author/editor. I’ve had a very difficult time finding any real information on this book. From Amazon it has been cited in 19 books (that must be a good thing – right?).
What Amazon provides:
· Paperback: 224 pages
· Publisher: Teachers College Pr (April 1988)
· Language: English
· ISBN-10: 0807729094
· ISBN-13: 978-0807729090

Since I'm always a believer in ethics - this one will need to be added to future reading.

Honky by Dalton Conley and The Education of Hyman Kaplan by Leonard Q. Ross.
First impression – autobiographical . . . how close am I to that first impression?

Google search of Honky – I should have placed a big bet :-).I like Random House’s description the best
http://www.randomhouse.com/%20catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780375727757&view=rg
I’ll need to revisit this book … looks like a very good read.
The Education of Hyman Kaplan by Leonard Q. Ross – maybe I ought not be a betting person – this is a work of fiction by Leo Rosten who used the pseudonym Leonard Q. Ross. Wikipedia and other sources provided necessary background info for this book.
The Jewish Book Center provided the following book description:
Hyman Kaplan, the irrepressible student with ostentatious pride at the American Night Preparatory School for Adults, has captivated readers ever since he first appeared in the pages of the New Yorker. Few immigrants have prepared themselves for the responsibility of citizenship with such high spirits as Kaplan, unrestrained by the pedantic guidance of Mr. Parkhill, who suffers as his student skews the English language with a zany logic all his own. His original treatment of speech recitation and composition irritates his classmates and tempts his teacher to promote and be rid of him prematurely, but in this compassionate classroom of misadventures, Hyman Kaplan is unmistakably at its heart.
