Book Synopsis
Learning by Expanding challenges traditional theories that confine learning to specific tasks or problems. Yrjö Engeström argues that this approach fails to meet the challenges of social change, or to create novel artifacts and ways of life. He presents an innovative theory of expansive learning activity that transforms existing social practices.
