2.0 out of 5 stars an introductory textbook
Reviewed in the United States on 18 January 2014
Verified Purchase
A comprehensive overview to outdoor leadership that targets facilitation theories and skills but provides limited best practices or theories for teaching (3 chapters versus 1). The opportunity to incorporate theory and methodology from physical education is missed, however this is sadly true for most textbooks. The emphasis is on adventure education from the psycho-social side is pursued but not psychomotor side, which is what most people probably participate in the first place.

There were also numerous great gaps in presentations regarding individual theories. The authors seemed to have included their class notes and didn't give much thought to think it through to its natural conclusion and the editors didn't take the time to proof the work. The reader, undergraduate student, is left with major gaps in their learning. Not good. Needs to be proofed! This edition is not worth it but overall it shows promise for future editions.
