Leisure and the environment
essays in honour of professor J.A. Patmore
Glyptis, S. (1993). Leisure and the environment: essays in honour of professor J.A. Patmore. London: Belhaven Press.
Leisure studies has developed into a major academic field and a large, internationally significant profession since Professor Allan Patmore published his seminal book 'Land and Leisure' a quarter of a century ago. To mark his retirement, this volume has been prepared to provide a landmark inventory volume of the subject he did so much to create and develop, particularly stressing its links between leisure and the environment. This is a survey, tracing the major issues and themes of the subject from the local on the global scale. The contributors include the world's leading researchers and practitioners, including Dr Neil Cossons, Director of the Science Museum, Professor Terry Coppock of Edinburgh University and Professor Tim O'Riordan of East Anglia University and Geoffrey Wall of Waterloo University, Canada. Planning leisure for human needs and environmental sensitivity is the keynote of this book and it is sure to become a major source and reference for the field.
