The book will be of significant value to teachers and teacher educators. In the introduction, Waite notes "that despite evangelical texts extolling the benefits of the outdoors for very young children and a research literature on outdoor education, there was relatively little theory underpinning how and why learning outside the classroom might be beneficial and for what." Amongst the many other things it achieves, the book examines this issue and provides a theoretical perspective for outdoors education in a way that is accessible and informative to practitioners. In 15 chapters the book covers a very diverse range of topics related to outdoor education. | Publication Type: | Review | Source of Publication: | Children, Youth and Environments, v.21 (1) | Publisher: | University of Colorado | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1546-2250 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 139999 Education not elsewhere classified 130212 Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy |
