Studies in Outdoor Recreation, 3rd ed. - Search and Research for Satisfaction (Paperback, 3rd Revised edition)

For twenty-five years, "Studies in Outdoor Recreation" has been a standard text in courses on parks and outdoor recreation and serves as an invaluable reference for park and recreation managers. The first book to integrate the social science literature on outdoor recreation, it reviews studies from this broad, interdisciplinary field and synthesizes them into a body of knowledge, providing an historical perspective on outdoor recreation research and developing its practical management implications. This third edition is completely revised to reflect current research and new concerns in the field. A new chapter examines the emerging issue of sense of place and its relationship to outdoor recreation. The book concludes with twenty principles to guide outdoor recreation management and research. An extensive bibliography and A Guide to the Social Science Literature in Outdoor Recreation lead readers to valuable primary source material. An essential resource for students, scholars, and professionals, "Studies in Outdoor Recreation" explores the theoretical and methodological issues in outdoor recreation and describes the management implications of outdoor recreation research.
