Australian Leisure 4e provides an introduction to and analysis of a broadly defined concept of leisure.

This edition has been extensively reviewed and updated and includes new chapters on social networks, global cultures and events. Leisure is not just sport, or the arts, or outdoor recreation, it is all these things and more, including tourism, gambling, hobbies, television watching, entertainment, play and doing nothing in particular.

The text is designed to lead students into the subject and provide pointers to more detailed study, through discussion questions and guides to further reading.
