Customer Reviews
If you are already one it is usful for doing self reviews on your current performances, as it at the end of each of the 22 chapters it has a review box called 'effective adventure leaders should', a box containing a brief review of all the main points of that chapter which directly relate to the practical aspects of what leaders should be doing to ensure maximium safety within the group, while allowing the group to get the most out of the adventure experience they have been taken on. - I can almost garentee that every leader will pick up several tips from these sections no matter how experienced they re within the adventure leadership field.
If you are training to be an adventure leader, then each of the chapters guide you through different situations, highlighting not only the actions of the coach but in the ways the clients will react from these actions in different situations depending on there previous experience, motivation, and fears. Each chapter starts with a given relistic situation which directly relates to the theme of the chapter, which is then used to explode open the actions of the group and the leader in the given situation and analysis in small detail, the quality of the planning, leadership, and group advancement.
Due to the nature of the subject it can often feel like heavy reading (which it is), but it does have everything you could ever need to know within it's pages, and so makes it the best book on the subject I know of, and being on an B.A. Adventure Education course, I've read quite a few.
Also highly recommended by me to compliment it is the book Adventure Programming by John C. Miles(Editor), Simon Priest(Editor). Hardcover (December 1999)
