Product Description
This Industry Risk Ratings report from IBISWorld evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Recreational Parks and Gardens in Australia industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be 'the difficulty, or otherwise, of the business operating environment'.

The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk).

This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each industry. Industries are scored on a 9-point scale, where 1 represents the lowest risk and 9 the highest. The Industry Risk score measures expected Industry Risk over the coming 12-18 months.

Industry DefinitionThis report relates to units mainly engaged in the operation of parks and gardens such as flora or fauna reserves, national parks, tourist caves or wild-life sanctuaries. It includes national parks, marine parks, state parks managed by the State and Federal Governments.

Report Contents

Risk Overview

The Risk Overview chapter includes sections on Industry Definition and Activities, Industry Risk Score and Risk Rating Analysis.The Industry Definition and Activities section provides a detailed definition of the activities carried out by operators in this industry as defined in NAICS.A list of the primary activities of the industry is also included. The Industry Risk Score section provides the Overall Industry Risk Score as well as the Risk Scores for each of the three types of risk covered that combine to form the Overall Industry Risk Score. These three types of risk are Structural Risk, Growth Risk and External Sensitivity Risk. The Risk Rating Analysis section discusses the underlying factors contributing to the Overall Industry Risk Score.

Structural Risk

The Structural Risk chapter looks at risk arising from within the industry itself and provides a detailed discussion of the industrys level of exposure to seven key indicators.These key indicators are Barriers to Entry, Competition, Industry Exports, Industry Imports, Level of Assistance, Life Cycle Stage and Volatility of Industry.The Overall Structural Risk Score is a weighted aggregation of these seven key indicators.Each of the key indicators is discussed in detail in this section.

Growth Risk

The Growth Risk chapter looks at risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry. The Overall Growth Risk Score is determined by amalgamating the scores for Recent Industry Growth and Forecast Industry Growth. Detailed analysis is provided discussing the reasons for the growth scores of both.

Sensitivity Risk

The Sensitivity Risk chapter looks at risks arising from forces (sensitivities) external to the industry. The Overall External Sensitivity Risk Score is determined by identifying the most significant (up to 6) external factors and weighting them to represent how significant each sensitivity is to the performance of the industry.Examples of External Sensitivities are Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Commodity Prices and Government Regulations. There is also a detailed analysis of the affect each of the sensitivities has on the industry, including charts and data tables where appropriate.

Industry Risk and Industry Risk Scoring Methodology

This chapter provides an overview of how IBISWorld defines Industry Risk and discusses the methodology used to arrive at an Industry Risk Score.There is also a table that provides a definition of the seven levels of Industry Risk.

Product Description
America's parks--and their architectural companion, the log cabin--hold a powerful grip on our imagination. Harkening back to a simpler time, these rustic structures serve as a reminder of America's frontier spirit, and serve as a popular source of inspiration for contemporary architecture, in everything from simple vacation homes to the mansion "lodges" favored by today's wealthy elites. This classic three-volume survey, first published in 1938 by the National Park Service, details in photographs and measured drawings the rich legacy of America's park structures. In over 500 illustrations, Park and Recreation Structures documents picnic tables, dams, drinking fountains, trail signs, storage sheds, bridges, boathouses, lodges, and inns from the glory days of park construction. Reproduced in its entirety in a single volume, this book will serve as a source of ideas, details, and imagery for architects, landscapists, gardeners, and anyone interested in America's national parks. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Classic and great reference book
This reprint is classic in content.The illustrations are timeless.The book's binding, paper, etc. is of excellent quality.Not a cover to cover read but enjoyable browsing.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great "Catalogue" of American Log Construction
The golden era of handcrafted log construction was 1920's and 30's, and this wonderful book details, in project after project, the structures that had been built in America's National and State parks during that time. Cabins, lodges, visitor centers, even bridges, drinking fountains, fire pits, outhouses, and log benches-they all get photos, drawings, and commentary in this encyclopedic work.

Albert H. Good wrote several books as Architectural Consultant for the National Park Service, and 3 of them are bound into one huge book here--it is the size of a library dictionary. More than 600 pages, and countless photos and drawings, the publisher used high quality paper and library binding. It feels like an expensive book!

For me, the drawings are the gems. B&W photos must be difficult to scan and reproduce from the original, and some of the photos in this book, while generally very good, have suffered just a little. But this is nit picking.

This book is a treasurehouse of handcrafted stone and log structures--these were craftsmen working at the peak of their abilities. And the designs are superb-they have the human scale, the warmth, and the charm that current architects could learn from. Great log homes don't need to be 4000 square feet, or have 20-foot ceilings. This book is proof of that.

Save up and buy this book. Use it when designing your own log home or cabin. Share it with friends.I have been building log homes, and writing about log home construction, for 23 years and each time I browse this book I learn something new.

Robert W. Chambers, author, Log Construction Manual

5-0 out of 5 stars great reference
This is a beautiful book and an excellent reference.It is a reprint of the three volume set published in 1938."Patterns From the Golden Age" is a cheaper reprint of the same thing - but the quality of the photos in this version is well worth the extra money.

5-0 out of 5 stars Buildings and sites of the WPA and CCC era.
This is the best source book for the architectural projects and site concepts produced during the 1930's for the Works Projects Administration (WPA)and Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).Albert Good's narrativeprovides insight into the motivating forces that employed thousands of outof work architects, engineers, skilled craftsmen and laborers to produceprojects that now form the core of our national and state parksystems.

Most of the work produced under this program is enjoyed bytoday's tourist as the premier and most desirable destinations for outdoorexperiences.Few new park facilities can duplicate the environmentscreated by these dedicated workers on superbly selected and planned sitesduring the darkest days of the "Great Depression".The handcrafted, and sometimes intricately decorated, architecture and naturallandscape planning evolved from talented designers and often unskilledlaborers who lavished their work with love that only the lack of deadlines,the motivation of an empty stomach, a belief in the benefit for theirfellow countrymen and the need to build with on site materials can produce.These buildings are truly "green buildings" before the term andrecent politically correct notion became fasionable.

Any architect,engineer, conservation and environmental supporter or depression erahistorian can benefit from this publication which brings one in contactwith a nation faced with financial ruin and the effect on the hopes andspirit of its citizens.It demonstrates that when given a chance, the workethic that has andhopefully will always exist in this nation producesfantastic results..........that we can roll up our shirt sleeves and pullon our boots to produce marvelous and lasting accomplishments even undergreat adversity.

I recommend this book not just for the professionalswhose vocations it represents but also for those who wish to understand themountains that can be moved with a little sweat and perseverance. ... Read more

Product Description

One of the great themes in American culture is leisure travel, and the motorhome is perhaps the single most evocative symbol of that carefree lifestyle. But where to travel to? The number, variety, and quality of parks can be daunting. The annual Trailer Life Directory guides both seasoned and first-time travelers through the maze of information. This guide contains over 12,000 listings of RV parks, profiled and ranked by a rating system developed exclusively by Trailer Life Enterprises. It’s all here: service and repair facilities, Good Sam Discount locations (the only complete guide to these), state fishing licensing regulations and fees, and Canadian road and highway telephone numbers. Also here are bridge, ferry, tunnel, and tollway data, seasonal temperature maps, tourism offices, Internet access, and ATM availability. The 2008 directory includes important, up-to-date information on traveling with pets and a special editorial on Quebec’s 400th anniversary.

4-0 out of 5 stars RV Road Buddy
This has helped tremendously charting our cross-country trip.The format lacks a little; ie. the addresses of the RV campgounds are not included.But, along with google maps as a companion it works out just fine.Even though it is the 2008 issue we don't think much would change.The price is right!

5-0 out of 5 stars A must have for the traveler !
I have used this book for years.I order the new edition every year and every year it gets better. A great resource to have when on the road, enabling you to call ahead and reserve a spot to spend the night or week.

5-0 out of 5 stars trailer life rv book
Haven't used the book yet but intend to do so when we plan our next trip. It seems to be very comprehensive and I'm sure it will be very helpful. Thanks.

5-0 out of 5 stars terrific
In this day of "who cares", I am happy to say this was a terrific purchase.I ordered, it was delivered, and it was in good shape.What a simple concept.

5-0 out of 5 stars Big but full of information
This directory is HUGE, and filled with adds but I can't imagine setting off on a long trip without it. Calling ahead, or reserving a spot online is such a good idea when you are driving or pulling a large trailer. It really pays to have an idea of what you are getting into before you get there. If you are arriving later in the day to an area you are unfamiliar with this directory is a necessity. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
I ordered this book, but was immediately surprised at two things when it arrived: 1) the format is larger than I'd hoped for. 2) It's black and white, with a section of color photos in the center that are often vague about locations.
I've been to 2 of the locations that were listed, and yes, the details are accurate. However, I was hoping for more: what to do in the area for day trips, and color photos of each park for example. Those was lacking.

5-0 out of 5 stars Exactly what you need
This book is well laid out with many photos.There is a big fold out map included of all the Texas State Parks.The parks presented are grouped according to their regional location.Desriptions of the types of campsites, amenities and contact information is provided.It's a basic, easy to read, Texas State Park reference book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Texas is Big, buy a good camping book.
I live in Texas, and I have so for all of my life, but it is sure is surprising to find out how big Texas exactly is.In this book you get, in detail, a listing of state and national parks and forest for the 4 regionsof Texas.Being that Texas is so big, each region tends to have alldifferent types of camp sights compared to some of the other regions.Thenice thing about this book is it gives you information about OTHER parts ofTexas, perhaps that you haven't visited yet.I love to camp but tend tostick to those areas near me, or that I visited as a child.This bookshould give you enough information to maybe visiting some new sights.

5-0 out of 5 stars the book to have for camping in texas
I operate a year round therapeutic camp for teen boys.The camp goes on many trips, from day trips to extended trips.This book by Mickey Little is an invaluable resource in planning the trips for my staff and 30 boys. Lots of maps, descriptions on campsites and group sites, and of course,activities for the kids once we get there.I would'nt plan a trip withoutMickey.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best single book on state park camping in texas

Product Description
The word ‘park’ conjures a kaleidoscope of bucolic images. Childhood frolics in urban playgrounds. Strolls through the country estates of Stourhead and Versailles. Wilderness adventures in the Serengeti. White-knuckle thrill rides at Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Coney Island.

The Invention of the Park explores our fascination with making parks. In a broad-ranging environmental and social history, authors Karen Jones and John Wills search for a common set of ideas that inform park design. From Greek philosophers wandering sacred groves in the ancient world to today's kids watching Mickey Mouse in Disney's Magic Kingdom, the park has inspired and thrilled in equal measure. In a work spanning all five continents and several thousand years, Jones and Wills chart the evolution of the park idea. They ponder the intersection of the green pleasure ground with notions of democracy and freedom, welfare and consumption, conservation and nature. They forward the principle of a universal park idea malleable enough to survive war and revolution.

Contributing to a growing literature on global environmental history, the Invention of the Park explores how the park idea has come to transcend national boundaries and found appeal among a worldwide audience. Jones and Wills situate the park as a complex product of natural and cultural forces. Their work is of interest not just to students and scholars of environmental philosophy, history, and landscape design, but to amateur gardeners, rollercoaster ‘adrenalin junkies’ and all those who like to take a ‘walk in the park.' ...
