However, this volume takes some of these issues into a different area of leisure: the spare-time carved out by people as part of their everyday lives - time that is much more intimately juxtaposed with the pressures and influences of work life, and which often involves specific bodily practices associated with hobbies and sports. An important focus of the book is the body as a site of identity formation, experience, and disciplined recreation of the self. Contributors examine the ways rituals, sports, and forms of bodily transformation mediate between contemporary ideologies of freedom, choice and self-control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“…forcefully and effectively opposes cultural models that strongly dichotomize social reproduction and social recreation.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e  ·  JRAI\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"an interesting anthropological attempt, or, rather, an impressive empirical contribution to exploring diverse contemporary themes in modern sports and leisure activities. In many ways, their book, which comprises nine different and exciting empirical cases covering a rich ethnographic area, intends to expand and broaden the term 'sport' as something more than just purely being an activity carried out for mental, physical or bodily restitution; it is a site of meaning production as well as consumption performed by individuals across the globe. ... the book represents an important contribution to the study of leisure.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e  ·  Idrottsforum.org\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e The Discipline of Leisure: Taking Play Seriously\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSimon Coleman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTamara Kohn\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: SURVEYING THE SELF\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Bob, Hospital Bodybuilder: The Integrity of the Body, the Transitiveness of ‘Work’ and ‘Leisure’\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eNigel Rapport\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Of Metaphors and Muscles: Protestant ‘Play’ in the Disciplining of the Self\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSimon Coleman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II: TEMPORALITIES OF LEISURE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e An Adventure Tourist Experience\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMaurice J.
