<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The way we organise our free time can reveal a great deal about our identities and ideology. This book explores what our sports and leisure choices can tell us about the society in which we live. Comprehensive, cutting edge and packed with global examples it covers all the essentials for students of sports and leisure sociology.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>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<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Karl Spracklen is a Professor of Leisure Studies at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK.<br>Karl Spracklen is a Professor of Leisure Studies at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK.</p>
