By exploring past, current, and future intersections between leisure and health, Exploring the Leisure–Health Nexus: Pushing Global Boundaries (CABI) considers research and academic thought to reveal and critique the nuanced ways that leisure impacts health as well as considering how health professions use leisure as a ‘tool’. We asked health educator and currently PhD researcher My Blomberg for a review. She finds the collected volume to make an original contribution to the leisure–health field, and especially appreciates its multidisciplinary approach to understanding the leisure–health nexus with a diverse population focus.

Friuftsforskaren Jonas Mikaels vid Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan fick en tung volym att recensera. Antologin The Palgrave International Handbook of Women and Outdoor Learning, sammanställd av Tonia Gray & Denise Mitten och utgiven av Palgrave är på drygt 900 sidor med 62 kapitel. Och den är tung också i innehållsligt, akademiskt hänseende, konstaterar vår recensent, som dock pekar på det höga priset som avskräckande.
