N2  - "This revised and updated edition reflects the changes that have taken place within the field of leisure and recreation management in recent years. Issues such as social inclusion, cultural strategy, and exercise for health have risen to the top of the policy agenda. Commercial pressures, changes in the voluntary and public sector, and emerging leisure professions such as sports development and playwork are all profoundly influencing the professional landscape."--Publisher description
