The benefits of being outdoors in a leisure context are widely
acknowledged across a range of disciplinary perspectives (including
tourism, therapeutics, education and recreation). These benefits
include the development of: health and wellbeing; social skills;
leadership and facilitation skills; personal, emotional and
reflective abilities; confidence and identity creation. Drawing on
a variety of perspectives, geographies and approaches, this book
explores the opportunities that leisure in the outdoors provides
for learning, developing and challenging. The authors in this
collection challenge dominant discourses of outdoor leisure through
their selection of outdoor activities, theoretical approaches and
modes of representation. All offer fresh insights and thinking into
how leisure in the outdoors can be understood. The book covers a
range of outdoor conceptualisations that challenge the reader to
think deeply and broadly about the common threads which bind the
broad field of outdoor leisure together. The experiences explored
in this book range from suburban outdoors to wild places, surfing
to mindful reflection, and trail walking to Nordic skiing, and
encompass a broad spectrum of people. This book will appeal to
outdoor scholars from a variety of contexts, including recreation,
tourism, and adventure. It provides: *original and leading research
across layers of meaning attributed to and drawn from leisure
experiences in the outdoors; *value in theorising the notions of
outdoor experiences; *a variety and scope of contexts and
approaches for students to draw on when learning about the field of
outdoor leisure.
