"This is a wonderful book, deservedly a classic. Daloz has written an evocative analysis of the promises, joys, problems, and contradictions endemic to mentoring. Packed with recognizable and truthful vignettes, the book is full of helpful advice grounded in a lifetime's experience." (Stephen D. Brookfield, Distinguished Professor, University of St. Thomas)

"Nowhere else are learning, development, and mentoring so vividly and engagingly written about than in Daloz's book.... Already a classic in the field, this second edition updates us all on the awesome power and responsibility inherent in the mentor's role." (Sharan B. Merriam, Professor, Department of Adult Education, University of Georgia)

"Essential reading.... This book will help more of us grow into one of the most life-giving relationships we can have with another person, one that will bring deep fulfillment to our own souls. Daloz has given a great gift to all who teach and learn." (Parker J. Palmer, author of The Courage to Teach)

"Daloz's stories help us imagine building the kinds of student-mentor relationships that enable students to cultivate strong, articulate voices, claim the powers of mind, and become more deeply connected citizens of the world." (Mary Field Belenky, coauthor of Women's Ways of Knowing and author of A Tradition That Has No Name)

"This wonderful classic has developed and matured, offering educators across all contexts new insights into how the challenging relationship between teacher and learner can become a source of growth for both partners in the journey."
