Synopsis

This incredible collection of 18 essays explores the meaning of recreation, parks, and leisure in the author's own life. Many of the essays are adventure-based out-recreation experiences, set in the mountains, forests, deserts, and tundra. The Wilderness Within is an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level courses. The book assists professors in fostering dialog with their students about the significant meaning, richness, and complexity of recreation and leisure in their lives. You, too, will be convinced that leisure is at the heart of what makes life worthwhile.
