Inspiring look at experiential education.......2003-08-04

This book and its many beautiful photos encompasses the passion and philosophies of a great organization. Mark's ability to capture the essence of what it means "to serve, to strive and not to yield" really shines through in this book. I look forward to future books and photos by Mark Zelinski.

Very Inspiring Book.......2003-08-03

One of best, most definitive books about Outward Bound. Zelinski's stunning photographs transport readers directly into the soul of the Outward Bound experience - the compassion, courage and self-discovery that have inspired the millions of individuals who have experienced Outward Bound first-hand. Not just a book about outdoor adventure, but a book about personal transformation and self-discovery.

Good coffee table piece for the Outward Bound Fan.......2000-07-17

The book has beautiful photos of O.B. programs around the world. It also contains a good synopsis of OB History and origins. It is rather outdated however - since 1991 there are now 50 Outward Bound schools, many of them not included in this edition. Also, information on the schools is no longer entirely accurate. As a current staff member for the Australian Outward Bound School, I noticed that the photos and text show activities we no longer run and areas in which we no longer operate. But fear not OB fans - rumour has it from a source at the Canadian Outward Bound Wilderness School I recently visited that another book is on the agenda for the author. I'm hanging out for that!This book is still a beautiful investment, especially for those interested in capturing OB before the 21st Century.
