A Narrative History of L.B. Sharp and Outdoor Education

Never Finished...Just Begun was published in 2009 and is based on my dissertation study.

Teaching for Experiential Learning:

Five Approaches that Work

Teaching for Experiential Learning was published in 2010. I co-authored this book with my colleague at MSU, Mankato, Scott Wurdinger.

L.B. Sharp was a pioneer in outdoor education long before the term became commonly known (and coined by Sharp himself). Spanning the decades from his birth in 1895 to his passing in 1963, this book presents L.B.'s remarkable career accomplishments, as told by his friends and associates, and the many ways in which his leadership inspired them all.
