紹介
This accessible volume gathers together previously written articles on a range of themes, including sport and leisure, physical education, sociology and cultural studies. Combining case-study analysis with discussion of key conceptual and theoretical themes, sociology, and cultural studies, the helpful format of the book should lead to a clearer understanding of the sociological implications of "leisure".
