The most significant change in this edition of Leisure Education Program Planning is the infusion of information gleaned from writings by some of the leaders of the positive psychology movement. These readings provide valuable perspectives and insights about concepts related to leisure and leisure education. The book is organized into five sections. The first section contains six chapters designed to increase understanding of principles related to leisure and leisure education. The second section provides recommendations and research on leisure education, reviewing previous efforts to implement and understand leisure education programs. The third section provides considerations for developing the content (what to teach) of leisure education. The fourth section addresses the process (how to teach) of implementing leisure education programs. The final section of the book contains specific leisure education programs associated with six possible leisure education components (appreciate leisure, be aware of self in leisure, be self-determined in leisure, interact socially, use leisure resources, and make leisure decisions). The author has field-tested and evaluated various components of these leisure education programs.

Recreation Programming: Designing, Staging, and Managing the Delivery of Leisure Experiences incorporates information and techniques based on current knowledge about experiencing leisure and the current professional techniques and practices that programmers need to learn and master to design, stage, evaluate, and manage leisure experiences in any organization including government, commercial, and not-for-profit agencies. This eighth edition teaches the programmer to design and stage program services by learning the theory and techniques of recreation programming including (1) basic leisure theory that explains how leisure is experienced; (2) the generic structure of situated activity systems in which social interaction produces leisure experiences; (3) how programs are designed; and (4) procedures and techniques that programmers use to stage, evaluate, and manage recreation programs in a variety of agencies.
