This book offers a rational and philosophical approach to environmental interpretation, the educational purpose of which is particularly relevant in an age when specialization tends to distance most people from direct experience of the way the environment works. In reviewing the practice of interpretation, the author emphasises that effective work in this field must be finely tuned. The interpreter must constantly bear in mind the real value and significance of the features interpreted and the needs of the visitors to whom interpretation is addressed.

Industry Reviews

'This book with its courage, freshness of approach and complete freedom from intellectual cliches is one of the three or four most valuable works on the subject to have been produced during the past 50 chaotic years. It deserves a wide readership.' - Kenneth Hudson, Director of the European Museums Forum

'Should be on the shelf of every student of interpretation and practising professional.' - IJHS
