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.

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.
