The History of the McGuire Family
History of the McGuire family of Ireland from 54 B.C to Hugh Anthony Francis McGuire of Auckland, New Zealand.
Leisure and Human Development
This is an examination of the link between human development and behavior in a context, leisure, that has been described as encompassing one third of people's time. This text examines human development as it affects and is affected by leisure -- what people do when they are relatively free to choose their behaviors. Douglas Kleiber and Francis McGuire, two highly respected academics, developed this book around age-based periods of life.

Leisure and Aging
There is a growing need for leisure professionals to understand the correlation between the ageing process and its relationship to leisure. This book is designed to help identify ways leisure can contribute to later life. It links the aging process and leisure to Ulyssean living, the willingness to be open to new ideas and opportunities, to seek new adventures and opportunities. Part one helps develop an understanding of what happens as people age. Part two explores leisure and its role in later life. Part Three examines the environment where ageing occurs.

In fact, they view ageing as a natural part of life cycle, accompanied by advantages as well as losses. Leisure is a primary realm of behaviour during which great personal growth and development can occur. This book is about the joining of these two forces.
