Interpretive Master Planning- "a classic work by an author who does interpretive planning every day" - shares an unrivalled wealth of experience and practical advice on planning and designing interpretive facilities and services. Of value to museums, visitor centres, and historic or natural history sites, John Veverka's lively text uses stories, case histories and interactive examples to illustrate every aspect of the interpretive process: from how to decide what to interpret, and how best to do it, through to effective planning, implementation - and much more.

This is, quite simply, the most comprehensive reference book on the subject. Richly illustrated in colour, and focusing firmly on visitors and the quality of their experience, its 40 chapters, 100 illustrations and almost 600 pages will ensure that your interpretation really works. In addition to the authoritative text, a rich variety of time-saving, tried-and-tested checklists, flowcharts, diagrams, tables, forms and worksheets are included and designed to be freely reproduced and used.

Few people combine the interpretive experience and planning skills of John Veverka. Here is knowledge based on years of national and international interpretive planning projects with parks, museums, commercial attractions and a variety of other agencies. This is a classic work by an author who does interpretive planning every day. 
Gary R Moore, Program Coordinator, MetroParks, Columbus and Franklin County, Ohio.

Interpretive Master Planning is full of illuminating examples as well as precious practical suggestions. This classic work of John Veverka represents an essential manual for professional interpreters and for those first approaching this fascinating discipline.
Dr Marta Brunelli, Chair of Heritage Education (Faculty of Cultural Heritage), University of Macerata, Italy.

Drawing on his extensive interpretive consulting and training experiences, John Veverka very effectively shares his insights on interpretive concepts and practices. 
Dr Bill Lewis, formerly Professor, University of Vermont, and author of Interpreting for Park Visitors.

Interpretive Master Planning has many multicultural implications which extend its usefulness to Asian cultures. At the university and practical level it merits its place as a resource for interpretative planning and development across multiple settings: museum, historical, environmental and botanical.
Dr Ju-Hee Lee, Department of Tourism Management, Daegu University, Korea.
