This handbook defines and surveys the multi-disciplinary set of approaches that constitute the broad field of outdoor studies, including outdoor recreation, outdoor education, adventure education, environmental studies, physical culture studies and leisure studies. It reflects upon the often haphazard development of outdoor studies as a discipline, critically assesses current knowledge and identifies further opportunities for future research in this area. With a broader sweep than any other book yet published on the topic, it traces the philosophical and conceptual contours of the discipline, explores key contemporary topics and debates and identifies important issues in education and professional practice.
