Leisure in America
a social inquiry
Kaplan, M. (1960). Leisure in America: a social inquiry. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc..
What is leisure? What factual trends in its use are observable? What are the factors in American life that affect these trends? Can a classification be developed that will go beyond the mere listing of activities and into the dynamics of meanings and functions? How is leisure activity patterned or structured in groupings and in time? How is it chosen and modified? This book seeks to explore such issues. This book is intended to suggest the wide scope of interrelationships between leisure and other facets of life. Policy formation may be touched upon here and there for professions concerned with leisure. Theorists in the social sciences may find clues and topics to further research and understanding in leisure as a phenomenon of culture.
