Outdoor and Experiential Learning: Views from the Top

This is a collection of pieces that reflect with intimacy, the integrity of the culture that founded this industry in Australia and New Zealand. Many of the pieces are in the academic conversational language of research and discussion, however clear multi-dimensional images, come thick and fast. The book entices, informs, and debates. The payoffs are fundamental insights into the connection between place, relationship and understanding. Outdoor and experiential learning discusses the gifts that can be gained from a special sort of learning with the outdoors; learning that often escapes, or is overlooked, due to our intent to control and harvest all we can. The discussions are holistic and practical, and represent a well-rounded set of perspectives. Not a quick read often due to the language, but give your self the gift of time, for the colours, sounds and magic of a great classroom.
