Inside Outdoor Education
By Pete McDonald. A book for outdoor educators.
‘This is an excellent
book which will appeal to the climber and the lay reader interested in
adventure. It also covers a number of important issues for the teacher,
for educationalists and sociologists … and [for all those]
involved in the wide-ranging field of outdoor education.’ •
Tim Stott, in the Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning,
Vol 2, Issue 1 (2002).

‘This book is
difficult to put down; it is a splendid read … and it makes
one furiously to think. The author is a master of the English language,
with a bias towards its Anglo-Saxon roots.’ • Bertie
Everard, in the Australian Journal of Outdoor Education, Vol 6,
No 2 (2002).

‘I would particularly
commend it to anybody aspiring to a career in outdoor education or the
leisure and recreation industry. It has the quality to become a “cult”
classic.’ • Nick Halls, in Newsletter
No 37 of The Mountaineering Council of Scotland.
