Format:Paperback
This is an important book and an absolute must for university students. The book fills the void and limited information covered in many other related text.It is an essential piece of text for information at every level for the aspects of lesuire and recreation management in planning, administration and the key management areas. And with this, the fourth edition, covering all the expansion and changes within the leisure and recreation management field is a must.
