Reviews

Stebbins' new book ... provides timely insight to further the scholarship of leisure, the serious leisure perspective (SLP) and the concept of augmentative play. ... Who should read this book? The book is good for scholars of the SLP. ... the reading will be most meaningful for those who have a grasp of the interrelated concepts of leisure, play, flow, perceived freedom and of course, SLP. (Steven Henle, Annals of Leisure Research, September, 2016)
