Outdoor Recreation looks at outdoor pursuits as a sub-phenomenon of the larger recreation and leisure phenomenon, but with an added touch, that of the natural element, with its psychological infleunce and social significance. Part One provides two views of nature—original inhabitants and new comers. Part Two provides the reader with a description of the resources available to the outdoor adventurer—federal, state, local, and private. Part Three examines the policies, procedures, and problems associated with outdoor recreation. Students will gain a broad appreciation enabling them to understand outdoor recreation from both the user and manager's viewpoint.

3.0 out of 5 stars Informative, but potentially painful-to-read textbook
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2014
Verified Purchase
To be fair, I didn't get close to reading every chapter. (Obviously purchased it for a class). What I did read, however, was thorough, smoothly-written, and easy-to-understand. The authors are clearly passionate about the subject.

The information is highly-detailed, which may or may not be a pleasant thing for you, and there's a lot of it. I found it only a little tedious or excessive in certain places.There is a lot of text, but it is broken up either by figures or photos, and the photos can really be very nice. A myriad of studies are quoted and used.

I think the textbook had a balanced mix of theoretical and practical information, but it might have been more theoretical in some ways.

I think your enjoyment of this textbook depends mostly on how interested you are in the topic. I am not a natural resources major, but I enjoyed the sections on the psychology, history, and societal implications of outdoor recreation. The explanation of government-owned versus privately-owned recreation facilities was a bit dry, as were other, more practical-centered places.

If you are considering buying this book out of interest in the subject and not for a class, make sure you are VERY interested. If that's the case, there is a lot to learn, and it's easy to digest. Otherwise, good luck with your class!
