      abstract = {This volume addresses the rich and varied thoughts,  concepts, approaches and leisure practices in sixteen  countries of three continents--Australia, Asia and Africa.  The chapters showcase the diversity in the forms and ways  in which the idea and practice of leisure have developed  across space and time. However, the common thread through  the chapters is that concepts and practices of leisure are  found all over the world, from pre-historic settlements to  the present-day consumer societies. Seemingly, being at  leisure is a capacity of the human species present at birth  and which develops in a variety of individual and societal  contexts. Even in situations where leisure gets little  official recognition as being an aspect of life--such as  under colonial rule or in extremely work-centric  societies--it needs to be contextually understood. This is  a welcome addition to the literature on leisure studies  from a global and comparative perspective.  .},
