Leisure and Urban Processes
First published in 1989. Focusing on leisure and policy in West European cities, this interdisciplinary study is written by leading policy analysts and academics from six European Community states: Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The emergence of leisure as a significant area of public policy in both developed and developing economies has been recognised only relatively recently, and this book was the first to deal with urban leisure policy in a European context. Common themes in this study include the use of tourism as a strategic tool for the economic regeneration of cities, leisure as a vehicle of community development and of social integration, and the role of leisure in the development of socialist municipal policy programmes. This book should be of interest to policy makers in local government, lecturers and students of development, tourism, economics, and urban studies.
Leisure and the Environment
'With more free time available for many members of society and more resources devoted to leisure spending, the growth of urban and rural leisure has been a significant feature of recent social change.' The importance of an environmental perspective on leisure cannot be ignored. This comprehensive introduction gives a clear and concise examination of the relationship between urban and rural leisure, and confronts the key issues for the 1990s. At the end of each chapter there are useful revision questions and practical exercises, and the final chapter illustrates the issues tackled in the book with real-life examples taken from the leisure industry, including: *growth of major retail centres *agricultural change and the rural leisure environment *visitor pressures in the Lake District * leisure developments and city image *football clubs under pressure. John Spink is Senior Lecturer in Leisure Studies in the Faculty of Cultural and Educational Studies at Leeds Metropolitan University.

Born In Huronia
On September 28, 1941, the same day that Robert Popple was born in Penetanguishene, Ontario, Ted Williams ended his baseball season with a .406 batting average, a MLB record that still stands today. Patterned after Mark Twain’s recently published autobiography, this memoir describes Popple’s life growing up in 1950s Huronia and later, making his way in the world. With public confidence in nuclear power declining after the Three Mile Island accident and CANDU reactors supplying the lion’s share of Ontario’s electric power, Popple acted as the Ontario Hydro nuclear spokesman for five years. An exact transcript of his mother’s 53-year Family Log is included, a prized source of detail on early events.
