The first book to integrate the social science literature on outdoor recreation, it reviews studies from this broad, interdisciplinary field and synthesizes them into a body of knowledge, providing an historical perspective on outdoor recreation research and developing its practical management implications.This fourth edition is revised to reflect current research and new concerns in the field. An essential resource for students, scholars, and professionals, Studies in Outdoor Recreation explores the theoretical and methodological issues in outdoor recreation and describes the management implications of outdoor recreation research.Contributors to the fourth edition include Megha Budruk, Kelly Goonan, Jeffrey Hallo, Daniel Laven, Steven Lawson, Rebecca Stanfield McCown, Laura Anderson McIntyre, Ben Minteer, Peter Newman, Elizabeth Perry, Peter Pettengill, Nathan Reigner, William Valliere, Carena Van Riper, and Xiao Xiao.

“Long-distance walking is good for you and good for the earth... But most of all, walking is a joyful celebration of life and the diverse, beautiful, and curious world in which we live.” —from the IntroductionWalking is simple, but it can also be profound. In an increasingly complex and frantic world, walking can simplify our lives. It encourages intimate contact with places and people, promotes health, and is one of the most sustainable forms of recreation. Robert and Martha Manning invite readers to explore the pleasures of long-distance walking in their inspiring new book, Walking Distance.At the heart of Walking Distance are firsthand descriptions of thirty of the world’s great long-distance hikes, spanning six continents and ranging from inn-to-inn to backpacking trips. Each entry—from Turkey’s Lycian Way to Vermont’s Long Trail—features personal anecdotes, natural and cultural history, and useful tips, including suggestions for preparing for hikes and for additional reading. Each trail narrative is richly illustrated with colour photographs and maps.The WalksAlta Via 1 (Italy)C&O Canal (USA) Camino de Santiago (Spain) Cape Winelands Walk (South Africa) Chilkoot Trail (USA, Canada) Cinque Terre (Italy) Coast to Coast Trail (England) Colorado Trail (USA) Cotswold Way (England) Great Ocean Walk (Australia) Inca Trail (Peru) John Muir Trail (USA) Kaibab Trail (USA) Kalalua Trail (Hawaii) King Ludwig’s Way (Germany) Kungsleden (Sweden) Long Trail (USA) Lost Coast Trail (USA) Lycian Way (Turkey) Milford Track (New Zealand) Ocala Trail (USA) Overland Track (Australia) Paria River Canyon (USA) South Downs Way (England) Superior Hiking Trail (USA) Tahoe Rim Trail (USA) Tour du Mont Blanc (France, Italy, Switzerland) Walker’s Haute Route (France, Switzerland) West Coast Trail (Canada) West Highland Way (Scotland)

How much can we use the environment without spoiling what we find so valuable about it? Determining the carrying capacity of parks and related areas is a perennial question whose urgency grows each year as the number of visits continues to increase. Parks and Carrying Capacity represents a comprehensive assessment of the issue, as it:offers a historical and conceptual treatment of carrying capacitydescribes and illustrates research approaches for assessing carrying capacity, including qualitative and quantitative surveys, normative theory and methods, visual research approaches, trade-off analysis, and simulation modelingexamines management alternatives for limiting the environmental and social impacts of visitor useconsiders the broader question of environmental management and how the issue of carrying capacity can be applied more generallydiscusses how the theory and methods associated with managing the carrying capacity of parks and protected areas might be extended to other areas of environmental managementThe book includes a series of case studies that describe research programs designed to support analysis and management of carrying capacity at eight diverse units of the U.S. National Park System, and an additional case study that explores how the foundational components of carrying capacity (formulating indicators and standards, monitoring, and adaptive management) are being applied in an increasing number of environmental and natural resources fields to address the growing urgency of sustainability.Parks and Carrying Capacity is an important new work for faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and researchers in outdoor recreation, park planning and management, and natural resource conservation and management, as well as for professional planners and managers involved with park and outdoor recreation related agencies and nongovernmental organizations.
