Leisure and Sustainability de Susan Tirone

Leisure and Sustainability

Editat de Susan Tirone, Elizabeth Halpenny
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2020
This book gives voice to a group of leisure scholars who are engaged in conversations about sustainability. Beginning with discussions on the relationship between leisure and sustainability and how these concepts are addressed in current literature, a case is made for continued investigation of how leisure and sustainability need to be better understood; and viewed as integrally linked.


The book discusses issues related to environmental sustainability; how, at the local level, leisure is considered as a solution to a range of social, environmental, and economic issues; and the value of leisure as an asset for addressing several social sustainability challenges.


This book was originally published as a special issue of Leisure/Loisir: Journal of the Canadian Association for Leisure Studies.
