Book excerpt: In the humanist tradition of such well-known practitioners in adult education as Malcolm Knowles, Daloz affirms the act of teaching as more an art than a science. Through the use of literary analogies and vignettes from student interviews, he builds a strong case for mentoring, saying that "it is the partnership of teacher and student that finally determines the value of education." Describing the mentor's task as supporting, challenging, and providing vision for the adult learner, Daloz shows how complex this task can be, taking into account the individual personalities of mentor and student and the pressures of the environment.
