Description
Jones and Bartlett Recreation & Leis.Mod.Soc 1997 Edition by Kraus
Now in its fifth edition, Recreation and Leisure in Modern Society continues to be the foundation text in hundreds of college and university recreation, park, and leisure classrooms. The inclusive book provides a detailed overview of the history, developments, and trends in leisure studies. As Kraus examines leisure as a social phenomenon, the reader gains a well-rounded understanding of the leisure-service system and the recreation and park professions. Additionally, extensive use of citations from newspapers and news magazines document recreation's role in daily life. This fifth edition has been designed to provide an interesting format by including a wealth of illustrations, provocative quotations to introduce the chapters, and many anecdotes and descriptions of current developments affecting leisure in real-life.
