Recensioner i media

"[A book that] will become the "bible" for recreation planning in Australia. The collaboration between Kenneth Marriott and John Tower, two of the leading thinkers in recreation planning in Australia, has combined their extensive experience into one publication. This text should sit in every recreation planner’s publication portfolio, as it will in mine." – Neal Ames, Sport and Recreation Project Manager, Glenorchy City Council"A welcome contribution to the sparse literature on community leisure and recreation planning. … While the opening chapter offers brief discussions of theoretical concepts such as paradigms, ideologies and benefits, the overall emphasis is on the practical. The book will therefore be appreciated by planning students who wish to be informed about community leisure planning and leisure studies students interested in the practical challenges of planning." – A. J. Veal, University of Technology Sydney, World Leisure Journal
