Recensioner i media

"Spracklen's two [previous] books (both of which apply a Habermasian perspective to the study of leisure) are probably the most important contributions to leisure scholarship so far in the twenty-first century." - Ken Roberts, University of Chester "Written in an engaging style, this original, astute and critical book will appeal to academics, researchers and students, and will likely become an important and well-read contribution to leisure studies." - Daniel Burdsey, University of Brighton
