| Annotation | One of the three founding fathers of U3A (the University of the Third Age) provides a chronological and thematic account of how the U3A movement has grown to more than 500 groups and some 140,000 members since its inception in the UK in 1982. While closely analysing the national and regional elements of U3A, the book's focus is also on the local stories of individuals battling to make the U3A ideal work in their own communities, to make U3A the success that it has become in the field of adult education.
