Experiential Learning: Experience as the Source of Learning and Development by David A. Kolb (Author), 2nd Edition, published by Pearson FT Press on December 12, 2014. This extensively updated book delves into the theory of experiential learning, emphasizing that people learn best through experience.

Vygotsky, this second edition reflects three decades of research and practice since the original publication.
