This volume is the result of the work of forty academics from all over the world: America, various European countries, Canada, Brazil, Nigeria, etc., each presenting their unique perspective on recreation and sports organizations.

The book is intended for students in the field, providing them with historical and philosophical information, as well as social aspects of the industry that has developed to support activities aimed at a better quality of life (community parks, NGOs, and various businesses).

Particular topics, such as the change in recreational practices after the Covid-19 pandemic, quality of life and environmental conservation, social equality, and public health are among the central themes addressed by the authors of the volume.

The originality of including accounts from industry workers about the experiences they gained when they themselves were students is a way to attract today's students in the field and encourage them to enhance the role of sports and recreation for people of all ages in the social context with new ideas and programs.
