Summary:

"The latest edition of Outdoor Recreation: Enrichment for a Lifetime continues to frame outdoor recreation under the umbrella of recreation and leisure studies, remains true to its original purpose of not duplicating the contributions of other outdoor recreation textbooks, and provides updates to the fundamentals of outdoor recreation, outdoor resources and management, education, and participation from a North American perspective. Outdoor Recreation: Enrichment for a Lifetime has been revised, updated, and expanded to be a leading resource in outdoor recreation not only in the United States but also in Canada. The new edition includes a variety of updates including an expanded chapter on the history and identity of outdoor recreation in Canada. For the first time, every Canadian province and territory is discussed from an outdoor recreation management perspective highlighting and celebrating a full view of Canada's diverse outdoor recreation resources."--Publisher's website.
