Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation by Jean Lave & Eteinne Wenger

This is an absolutely incredible book. It is really interesting and presents some fairly radical views on the nature of knowledge and learning in an accessible and engaging way. A seminal text in the field of organisational learning and organisational knowledge studies and forming the basis of the concept of 'Communities of Practice', this book has been cited and appropriated as the basis of many others' work - and as is always the case, has also been badly misrepresented and misappropriated at times. Well worth a read though and then you can make up your own mind about how it has been used since.
