This text for students in recreation and tourism emphasizes that inclusion in recreation programs and services is not only for individuals with disabilities, but must be extended to people of
all ages, cultures, and ethnicities. Part I covers the history of inclusive recreation and related legislation, and seeks to build cultural competency. Part II covers marketing inclusive
recreation experiences and staff training for inclusion. Part III focuses on universal design in recreation. Part IV offers chapters on specific service areas, such as playgrounds, recreation
and fitness, outdoor recreation and summer camps, adventure and challenge courses, and inclusive travel, tourism, and amusements. Examples of programs from a variety of sectors and countries
are provided. Sidebars introduce real-life professionals to help students explore career options. A 15-page appendix provides summary information on physical, mental, and cognitive conditions.
An online component offers learning activities, critical-thinking assignments for each chapter, and lists of Web sites. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
