Description

Trade Review"...a compendious and thoughtful book with a clear structure. Most importantly it demonstrates a good knowledge and understanding of the policy-making and political environments in which recreation ideas are shaped. It will be very useful as a text for undergraduate and graduate students studying this important area." - Planning Perspectives
