Reviews
Leisure activities in the outdoors offers readers contemporary reflections that disrupt the dominant discourse of 'outdoor recreation' while providing critical content on learning, developing and challenging leisure activities in the outdoors. A strength of the book is found in the concluding next directions, where editors suggest directions for those in the field learn and grow, recommending possible avenues for scholars and practitioners as they work in the future. The potential readers of this book include not only academic researchers and students who will benefit from the departure from dominant discourses but also the multiple perspectives, approaches and new frameworks to undertaking research on leisure in the outdoors. The use of creative analytic approaches and examples of qualitative approaches in action provide students and researchers with a new way to consider outdoor leisure research that strays away from commonly used quantitative approaches. As well, practitioners and the public will benefit from this text, as it provides them with research approaches to utilise on-the ground and learn from studies highlighting facilitation and encouragement of leisure in the outdoors.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
