Description: "Leisure practices in the modern Western world exist in the context of mass education, mass communication and mass tourism. In this clear and energetic text, Chris Rojek advocates the theorizing of leisure (taking into account the relationship between individuals, leisure behavior and citizenship) and outlines an approach to the analysis of leisure activity which seeks to consolidate motivation, location and context. Definitions of key concepts and chapter summaries clearly sign-post content for the benefit of readers new to the study of how we relax and enjoy life".
