About this product
Product Information
In today's society, hidden beliefs can subtly guide the management of parks, such as treating them as natural resources rather than national assets. Resulting management practices often lead to deferred maintenance on park infrastructure, causing inadequate protection from vandalism, poaching, and theft of artefacts. A sad demise, often due to an out-dated belief that parks are non-essential leisure services rather than necessities for a vibrant modern life. This book challenges the reader to examine the core beliefs that created our public parklands, comparing them with the beliefs that guide contemporary park stewardship in an effort to improve the management of parks and reassess their purpose in modern life.

Reviews
Will LaPage is one of the most provocative thinkers of our time on the issue of parks and protected areas, and does so from a background in the field for more than 50 years. He provides a framework for reconsidering the nature of parks and protected areas as assets, not extras, and inherent to the health of society--who we ultimately are as citizens. This book needs to be required reading for park management professionals from practitioners to researchers, as well as students studying the management of these valuable assets. Betty Baldwin, Clemson University "I believe that Will LaPage is the strongest advocate voice for parks today. In his latest "Rethinking Park Protection" he makes his strongest case yet to convince us to believe in our parks as social assets, a critical and significant component of our lives. I believe that this is a must read for every student, whether in an academic institution or on an intellectual sojourn. It is an outstanding assessment of our beliefs of our need for parks." Cem Basman, PhD, Indiana University Bloomington

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!
