Books by C. Rojek

But popular culture venerates leisure and travel as authentic escape routes from routine and monotony. A major scholarly contribution to the sociological analysis of leisure, pleasure and travel, Dr Rojek's study is a radical challenge to the existing paradigmatic orthodoxy.

Offering readers the most complete and authoritative critical introduction to Leisure Theory and written by one of the major figures in the field, the book provides an exciting and reliable guide to leisure forms, leisure practice and the representation of leisure.

This is the latest book on leisure from one of the leading figures in the field of leisure studies. The implications of the post-work thesis for leisure, the role of inequality in leisure practice, are explored in interesting and novel ways. This book will be required reading for anyone interested in leisure studies and cultural studies.
