Les « sports et loisirs de nature » sont de plus en plus massivement pratiqués en France et dans le monde mais cet engouement est sélectif. Certains usages déclinent, sont contestés dans leur légitimité, voire interdits. Que révèlent ces tendances à propos de nos rapports à l'environnement et plus largement, des tensions induites par l'écologisation des sociétés ? Comment un loisir de nature en vient-il à être qualifié ou non d'écologique ? Quels en sont les enjeux et les effets ? Pour le comprendre, l'auteur clarifie tout d'abord les liens entre deux processus normatifs de premier plan dans les loisirs de nature : la sportivisation et l'écologisation. Sa démarche combine l'analyse socio-historique des référentiels d'usages et l'enquête de terrain pour analyser les expériences socio-environnementales associées aux sports et loisirs de nature et leurs reformulations éventuelles en termes écologiques. Un focus est réalisé sur des chasses anciennes, le kayak de mer, la chasse sous-marine et la chasse à l'arc. Ces usages très différents par leur histoire, leurs publics et leurs techniques sont pourtant travaillés par des processus analogues dans deux « hauts lieux de nature » en partie protégés, le bassin d'Arcachon et les Calanques de Marseille. Au-delà de l'étude de cas, ce livre plaide pour la constitution d'un espace de discussion plus complexe autour des nouvelles questions normatives que pose la généralisation de l'impératif écologique dans la société. Le succès d'une politique environnementale est à ce prix.

Outdoor recreation refers to recreation/activity executed outdoors, most commonly in natural settings. At least in many high-income countries, outdoor recreation is by many considered as an attractive activity during spare time or holidays. People actively seek out activities such as walking in the mountains, climbing, hunting, horseback riding, skiing, etc., which are very often difficult to accommodate in ordinary working days. Some people find outdoor recreation attractive to the extent that they take several months or a year off from work in order to spend time in nature. Outdoor recreation stimulates a healthy lifestyle and increases public health, and it is important to develop outdoor activity habits from early childhood, a habit that should last for an entire lifetime. This book will take you through the definitions of outdoor recreation and different types of recreation. Furthermore, the book will also give you a snapshot of the physiological and psychological effects of outdoor recreation and why outdoor recreation is important for development in children and adolescents, and for adults and the older population, in addition to descriptions of some of the major and maybe the most used outdoor activities.

The last century has seen a dramatic increase in ramblers, mountaineers, cyclists and hill walkers enjoying the British countryside. This remarkable book charts the history of the outdoor movement from its late Victorian origins to its present status. Harvey Taylor describes how the active participants in the movement combined to create a loosely constructed entity, held together by common areas of interest and shared campaigning concerns. From the formation of Footpath Protection Societies and the development of a Countryside Access campaign in the inter-war years, he emphasises that the movement was very much more than just a 'craze' or a reaction against creeping industrialisation and urbanisation as was portrayed at the time. This is a fascinating introduction to a particularly British recreational phenomenon.
