Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. This volume addresses the rich and varied thoughts, concepts, approaches and leisure practices in sixteen countries of the three continents Australia, Asia and Africa. Per continent listed in alphabetical order in this volume information is provided on the development of leisure in: Australia and New Zealand for the continent Australia; China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Japan, Korea, The Philippines and Turkey for Asia; and, Africa (a summarizing article), Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria and South Africa for the African continent. As far as the approach and contents are concerned, the chapters show a rich variety. What they have in common, however, is the notion that, seemingly, though named and shaped differently in respective societies and manifesting themselves in many forms and ways, concepts and practices of leisure are found all over the world, from pre-historic settlements to the present day modern mass media societies. Seemingly, being at leisure is a human species capacity that comes at birth and flowers in a variety of individual and societal contexts. Even where leisure is given little room and chance to come to the surface and get official recognition as being an aspect of life that deserves attention from the authorities too, it is contextual, because it is shaped by the societal circumstances, such as being colonized or being extremely work-centered. This is a welcome initiative to produce a book on the developments in leisure from a global and comparative perspective. (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Leisure and Life through the Ages is a comprehensive account of eighteen countries from Europe to record developments in the field of leisure from a worldwide and comparative perspective. The coverage of the volume extends to Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden. The book also has a summarising article on Europe in the beginning which provides the basic general characteristics of leisure in Europe. Yet it may as well be said that in spite of certain basic features of leisure in Europe many of these countries are entertaining different practices and characteristics. All these papers have a thorough discussion on the broader perspective of leisure as it has existed during different periods of history in respective countries. The book will appeal to all those interested in the fields of leisure studies, cultural studies and sociology in general. (jacket).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume addresses the rich and varied thoughts, concepts, approaches and leisure practices in sixteen countries of three continents---Australia, Asia and Africa. The chapters showcase the diversity in the forms and ways in which the idea and practice of leisure have developed across space and time. However, the common thread through the chapters is that concepts and practices of leisure are found all over the world, from pre-historic settlements to the present-day consumer societies. Seemingly, being at leisure is a capacity of the human species present at birth and which develops in a variety of individual and societal contexts. Even in situations where leisure gets little official recognition as being an aspect of life---such as under colonial rule or in extremely work-centric societies---it needs to be contextually understood. This is a welcome addition to the literature on leisure studies from a global and comparative perspective.
