Description

Book Synopsis

Comprehensive, cutting edge and packed with global examples it covers all the essentials for students of sports and leisure sociology.

Review Quotes

Overall, this book is innovative and will fill a niche in the literature. The perspective taken is quite unique and draws on ideas and theories not typically included in other texts focused on leisure and society. The description and discussion of these ideas is lucid and engaging, and makes several difficult ideas accessible to an undergraduate audience.- Bryan Smale, Professor of Leisure Studies, University of Waterloo
