Product Description
The seventh edition of this classic textbook continues to provide a detailed overview of the history, developments, and current trends in leisure studies. It has been heavily revised to reflect recent societal changes and the challenges that face the leisure-services industry in the 21st century. Students will learn how trends such as dramatic shifts in population make-up, the impact of technology, and marketing affect leisure-service systems and the recreation and park professions. To reflect these trends, the text now focuses on ten different types of organizations, ranging from nonprofit community organizations or armed forces recreation to sports management and travel and tourism sponsors.
