Studies in Outdoor Recreation, 3rd ed.: Search and Research for Satisfaction

Finally, Robert Manning updates a classic outdoor recreation textbook used in almost all Recreation Management curriculum in the United States. Succinct and spot on, Manning re-examines basic concepts in his quest to explain why outdoor recreation visitors behave as they do. Terrific text.

This book is well written and contains not only great information from Manning, but every resource he cites in his writing is useful. I think this book is a MUST for any studying to be in the field of outdoor recreation.

This is really a very comprehensive review of the subject with great references.

I got this book fast and it was in very high quality. I got the book when I needed it without wait and it was shipped the next day.

Manning is amazing. This is a must for teachers and students interested in outdoor recreation, as you can clearly guess. Big textbook with big information.

Purchased for a co-worker. No Negative feedback

great read

I have dog-eared copies of the first and second editions of Manning's book. It's been 20 years since I read the first edition back in graduate school and without fail in my professional career (centered around park systems planning), I have found myself going back to the book at least once each year as both a reference and an inspiration. None of my other college texts (with the exception of my hand-written notes from a class on Geographic Analysis taught by Eric Sheppard at the U of MN) have had such a lasting impact on my work. An excellent book!
