This text asks students and all readers to consider some of the key issues related to understanding leisure at this social, political, and historical moment in time—the third decade of the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century. A central tenet of this book is that leisure is key to the functioning (and malfunctioning) of a democratic society. For example, the recent pandemic has led millions of people to reconsider the role of work and, by extension, leisure in their lives. #metoo and #blm (Black Lives Matter) movements have raised awareness of how leisure reproduces, but may also challenge and transform, social inequality and injustices. That is, this book provides students with the opportunity to understand and explore the various ways in which we can understand the constraints, the power, and the promise of leisure for individuals, communities, and societies. More than three dozen authors from across the U.S. and abroad challenge readers to examine the impact of leisure on how they see themselves, and their relationships with others and the world. The book is organized into five sections—Leisure and Me; Defining and Redefining Leisure; the Messiness and Complicatedness of Leisure; Engaging and\/or Disengaging in Leisure; and the Challenges of Leisure. In each section and chapter, students are asked to read, reflect, and act on topics ranging from how much freedom we have in leisure, to why freedom is more an illusion than a reality for many, to the centrality of leisure, recreation and play for a democratic society. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Leisure in the Ever-Changing World: Power, Privileges, and Promises \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emakes full use of interactive media, providing links to relevant podcasts, videos, blogs, popular media, scholarly writing, etc. to engage readers in pressing issues of today. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sagamore-Venture Publishing Inc.","offers":[{"title":"VitalSource eBook","offer_id":44506426999008,"sku":"5942E","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5817\/2384\/files\/9781952815942cover.jpg?v=1703008470"},{"product_id":"recreational-therapy-for-older-adults-2nd-ed-ebook","title":"Recreational Therapy for Older Adults 2nd ed - eBook","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe purpose of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eRecreational Therapy for Older Adults\u003c\/i\u003e, second edition, is to provide a comprehensive textbook for teaching an undergraduate or graduate course in recreational therapy or therapeutic recreation for older adults.

This text asks students and all readers to consider some of the key issues related to understanding leisure at this social, political, and historical moment in time—the third decade of the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century. A central tenet of this book is that leisure is key to the functioning (and malfunctioning) of a democratic society. For example, the recent pandemic has led millions of people to reconsider the role of work and, by extension, leisure in their lives. #metoo and #blm (Black Lives Matter) movements have raised awareness of how leisure reproduces, but may also challenge and transform, social inequality and injustices. That is, this book provides students with the opportunity to understand and explore the various ways in which we can understand the constraints, the power, and the promise of leisure for individuals, communities, and societies. More than three dozen authors from across the U.S. and abroad challenge readers to examine the impact of leisure on how they see themselves, and their relationships with others and the world. The book is organized into five sections—Leisure and Me; Defining and Redefining Leisure; the Messiness and Complicatedness of Leisure; Engaging and\/or Disengaging in Leisure; and the Challenges of Leisure. In each section and chapter, students are asked to read, reflect, and act on topics ranging from how much freedom we have in leisure, to why freedom is more an illusion than a reality for many, to the centrality of leisure, recreation and play for a democratic society. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Leisure in the Ever-Changing World: Power, Privileges, and Promises \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emakes full use of interactive media, providing links to relevant podcasts, videos, blogs, popular media, scholarly writing, etc. to engage readers in pressing issues of today. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sagamore-Venture Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46371973267680,"sku":"5973","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5817\/2384\/files\/9781952815942cover_95259b7c-b014-4a94-84ce-4fc3a4ffaacb.jpg?v=1727294831"},{"product_id":"study-guide-for-the-therapeutic-recreation-specialist-certification-examination-6th-edition-1","title":"Study Guide for the Therapeutic Recreation Specialist Certification Examination 6th Edition - eBook","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eThe purpose of this study guide is to assist candidates in preparing for the NCTRC national examination for Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists. We are excited to tell you that this sixth edition of the Study Guide for the Therapeutic Recreation Specialist Certification Examination has changed significantly from previous editions. This is largely due to two reasons: (a) the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC) has recently updated the Job Analysis, which helps structure the content of the test, and (b) the computerized test has a newer format of a 120-item test. Therefore, we have restructured the Study Guide to align more closely with the most recent NCTRC exam content and format. In addition, we’ve added hundreds of new items formed into warm-up items and four practice tests! While the warm-up items do not, the practice tests reflect the percentages you'll see on the actual exam. In preparing this Study Guide, we had a two fold mission: (a)to provide information that helps candidates reduce test anxiety and maximize test performance and (b) to provide numerous sample questions, similar to those actually found on the exam, that will allow candidates to practice and self-assess their own readiness for the test.

While the original volume established leisure as a vital context for health and wellness through transdisciplinary scholarship, this new edition incorporates more than a decade of scientific progress and social change. It expands the conceptualization of health to fully integrate social, spiritual, environmental, and cultural dimensions, and addresses contemporary issues such as climate change, environmental policy, health inequities, population diversity, the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and implementation science. Together, these additions position leisure not merely as a personal lifestyle choice, but as a critical determinant of health and well-being in complex social systems. With a strong focus on translating research into practice, this edition equips scholars, practitioners and policy makers with evidence-informed insights to design inclusive, effective, leisure-based strategies that promote health, resilience, and quality of life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sagamore-Venture Publishing ","offers":[{"title":"Vitalsource eBook","offer_id":53034532143328,"sku":null,"price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5817\/2384\/files\/HealthLeisurecover_2_0379c304-a095-4802-a52e-db3fb40b06ef.jpg?v=1781103959"},{"product_id":"leisure-education-program-planning-a-systematic-and-balanced-approach-based-on-social-justice-6th-edition-ebook","title":"Leisure Education Program Planning A Systematic and Balanced Approach Based on Social Justice 6th Edition eBook","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementToProof\" style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBook Description:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementToProof\" style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eLeisure Education Program Planning\u003c\/i\u003e contains information to help readers develop a sense of competence in providing balanced and systematic leisure education services occurring within the context of social justice. The book provides a sequential explanation describing how to transform a service model into a guide for planning, implementing, and evaluating leisure education.

This rejuvenated version of the manuals aims to extend this tradition, while bringing modern concepts, techniques, and activities to the forefront. The book is organized into two sections. The first section includes four conceptual chapters. Collectively, these chapters address many core questions involved in developing a comprehensive LE program. The second section includes five activity chapters, based on the Stumbo and Peterson (2021) Leisure Education model, plus a beginning chapter on connection activities. The four major components of the LE Model are leisure awareness, social interaction skills, leisure resources, and leisure activity skills.  This manual deviates from these four areas in the LE Model in two ways.  First, like prior LE manuals, leisure activity skills have not been included. These types of skills are vitally important but often are found in other mass market books. Second, decision-making skills—designated under the leisure awareness category in the original LE Model—has been emphasized and given its own activity chapter. Decision-making skills are important to participants' future success and vital to the practitioner's tool kit. In all, these nine chapters represent the most important areas of LE knowledge and skills—for both the participant and the professional.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; background-color: white; margin: 0px; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web (West European)', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 9.75pt; color: rgb(36, 36, 36);\" class=\"elementToProof\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eLeisure Education: Contemporary Concepts and Activities \u003c\/i\u003ewill be a welcome addition to the professional libraries of TR students and practitioners alike.

In addition to reorganizing the book, we have closely reviewed and revised the entire book to make it more concise and understandable.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sagamore-Venture Publishing ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53196973736160,"sku":"0435","price":128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5817\/2384\/files\/ScreenShot2026-06-23at6.45.24PM.png?v=1782258705"},{"product_id":"health-and-leisure-making-the-connections-2nd-edition","title":"Health and Leisure:  Making the Connections 2nd edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eThis second edition of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eHealth and Leisure: Making the Connections\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003e is more than a simple update to the field-defining first edition published in 2010, reframing and extending knowledge by emphasizing prevention, equity, and real-world application. While the original volume established leisure as a vital context for health and wellness through transdisciplinary scholarship, this new edition incorporates more than a decade of scientific progress and social change. It expands the conceptualization of health to fully integrate social, spiritual, environmental, and cultural dimensions, and addresses contemporary issues such as climate change, environmental policy, health inequities, population diversity, the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and implementation science. Together, these additions position leisure not merely as a personal lifestyle choice, but as a critical determinant of health and well-being in complex social systems. With a strong focus on translating research into practice, this edition equips scholars, practitioners and policy makers with evidence-informed insights to design inclusive, effective, leisure-based strategies that promote health, resilience, and quality of life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sagamore-Venture Publishing ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53199474786528,"sku":"0411","price":126.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/5817\/2384\/files\/HealthLeisurecover_2_9928fdb0-a584-4218-9133-3a0c8c80a7ec.jpg?v=1782260246"}],"url":"https:\/\/sagamorepub.com\/collections\/latest-releases\/keri-a-schwab.oembed","provider":"Sagamore-Venture Publishing ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
