This revised edition of Adventure Education (1991) brings together the current ideas of many practitioners of adventure programming to reveal the extent of the literature in the field and provides insight into every aspect of this ongoing movement. Change for society and communities is the altruistic end point sought by adventure programs through activities such as outdoor pursuits, initiative activities, and ropes or challenge courses which are all discussed in this text.
