Item description from seller

Third printing (May 1965) of the Third Edition, originally issued in 1964. Authored by Harold D. Meyer, Chairman of Recreation Leadership Curriculum at the University of North Carolina, and Charles K. Brightbill, Head of Recreation and Municipal Park Administration at the University of Illinois, this foundational text remains one of Prentice-Hall’s classic contributions to mid-century recreation studies. The volume provides an in-depth treatment of community recreation philosophy, programming, and public administration, illustrated with photographs, charts, and historical timelines documenting the American recreation movement. Binding is tight and square, pages are bright, clean, and unmarked, and the interior appears unread. A single slip of handwritten notes was found laid-in (retained as ephemera). Blue-gray cloth boards are crisp and unfaded, with sharp corners and minimal shelfwear. A Fine copy of this key academic resource, reflecting the civic optimism and social-planning ethos of the 1960s. Harold D. Meyer and Charles K. Brightbill were among the foremost educators in the development of American recreation leadership and park administration programs. Their text became a standard reference for professional training in recreation management for decades.
