The origin of Leisure Studies is comparatively recent. The subject is largely a postwar development which began to unfold in the 1960s initially in the USA and Europe. The subject area has continued to evolve internationally from a number of other disciplines and cognate areas?such as outdoor recreation geography history economics and sociology?and there has been a corresponding growth in Leisure Studies scholarship. Leisure Studies is now a vibrant and dynamic field of study and research and the sheer scale of the growth in its output makes this collection especially timely. A wide range of social science journals have published leisure-related material and this Major Work makes available foundational pieces of scholarship?as well as cutting-edge research?from these disparate and sometimes less accessible sources as well as from the leading UK European and North American leisure journals and from other publications some of which are no longer in print.
