The Fundamentals of Workplace Learning is well organized and researched, but its prose is awful, awful, awful. It's rife with near-empty declarations, bloated constructions and redundant expressions.
Has Illeris reached such a level of prestige in the education world that Routledge have forgone proofreading his books? Does Routledge not care about how badly its education books read? Has anyone actually read this book besides me? I don't know. In any case, it's too bad: workplace learning is an interesting subject that deserves much better treatment.
