Reviews

This collection includes articles by some of the giants in informal education research and evaluation, including but hardly limited to the three editors, and by authors who are less known but from whom the field will certainly want to see more....the chapter contents are well balanced between new insights into familiar programs and program contexts and research on types of programs and their contexts that are far less studied....this collection is a welcome and up-to-date addition to the library of anyone interested in youth programming outside of school hours and/or positive youth development. - The Prevention Researcher
