Leisure Matters:The State and Future of Leisure Studies

Leisure Matters:The State and Future of Leisure Studies

LEISURE MATTERS.. updates and expands Jackson and Burton's MAPPING THE,CHARTING THE FUTURE (1989)LEISURE STUDIES:PROSPECT FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY(1999). The need to do so was driven by the significant new developments in the leisure studies field as well as the arrival of new and upcoming experts in specific areas of study. While this book maintains the spirit and rigor of those earlier books, it also reflects the growth and maturity that has subsequently occurred in the leisure studies field. Approximately 80% of each chapter summaries the current state of that specific leisure concept, topic or area, while 20% dares to speculate imaginatively about where it could (and should) proceed in the future.
