Cowstails and Cobras II is a rewrite of Karl Rohnke's classic guide to games, initiative problems, and adventure activities. It contains much-and-more of what made up the original standard in... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I think this is the definitive book for "adventure ed". It is well laid out and easy to use. All the activities list not only instructions but when and how you might use them in a curriculum. It also has innovative ideas about how to use metaphors that can be adapted to a variety of situations. Karl Ronche is, in my opinion, on the cutting edge of experential education and his first book is staple in any experiental ed library.

I have used this book at outdoor education centres, camps and in a variety of classroom applications. It provides lots of neat ideas that integrate easily into traditional curricula. I especially appreciate the philosophy and clear instructions. Definitely a staple on my reference shelf.
