Review: Wonderful book - Would have read it even if it wasn’t for a class. Great biok Review: Incredibly relevant - This was a mandated text for a master's-level course in Parks and Recreation that I took. It has been my favorite textbook I have used thus far. Most books are dry and like little practical application but this one is based off real world experience and is extremely useful. It's probably the only textbook I will ever bother reading when I'm done with school!
