Review by A. M. Smith for Krau’s Recreation and Leisure in Modern Society
Rating:
The author was not content to simply write a book about recreation. The book is loaded with political editorializing, including a section blaming the Detroit riots of the 60′s on “society”, constant harping about the inequalities of the recreation opportunities for rich and poor, and a pervasive hostility towards private recreation resources. I do not recommend the book at all except as a mildly amusing piece of trite socialist hogwash.
