From the Publisher
Uses the life satisfaction theme and a focus on the future to provide a framework for understanding the work of leisure professionals and help them to see beyond the present.
Connects philosophical information to values, ethics and the building of a philosophy, helping students to understand the importance of developing a philosophy, as well as building a philosophical attitude.
Includes "Leisure Lines" which provide thought provoking, real-life exhibits complementing theoetical and practical information and sparking classroom discussion.
Uses a consistent format in Part 2 addressing characteristics, goals and functions, challenges for the future, customer orientation, resource bases, characteristics of professionals and types of agencies.
Features biographical sketches of historical leaders providing insight into the work of the profession and helping students understand its evolution.
Adds many new "Leisure Lines" including ones on Hosteling International; More Work, Less Play; Snowmobiles in natural resource areas; seniors and the computer superhighway and customer service.
Updates Chapter Four: Philosophical and Conceptual Themes to include new probing questions central to developing a philosophical perspective to leisure, insights into philosophical positions held by early leaders, reflections on the play movement as a reform movement, and perspectives regarding the availability of free-time and enforced leisure.
Offers new and revised coverage: tourism as mass leisure, social activities, North Americans and the out-of-doors, and on the amount of free time available to Americans and a close examination of the work/leisure relationship.
Updates the entire text to reflect the latest key facts, figures and information such as new trends impacting state parks, new information on not-for-profit organizations, certification of therapeutic recreation specialists, benefits-based programming, changing race composition of America, the Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and more.
