ISBN: 9781442221598 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Much of what is written about getting old has a negative feel to it, which is certainly not entirely unjustified. Health may begin to fail. Finances may become tighter as income dwindles or stops altogether. Family and friends may move away or move on. But the retirement years do not have to be negative or bleak. Within this "dark scenario," a positive existence is possible. Planning Your Time in Retirement focuses on the variety of free-time activities available to retirees as related to their physical, social, and economic situation in old age, helping readers find out what their passions...

Leisure and the Motive to Volunteer: Theories of Serious, Casual, and Project-Based Leisure
ISBN: 9781137585165 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Volunteering and its nonprofit organizations have commonly been analyzed in economic terms, with volunteering being referred to as "unpaid (productive) work." This economic definition has been around far longer than that of volunteering conceived of as leisure, which is discussed as the volitional definition. By means of a lengthy literature review, this book sets out the theoretical and empirical contributions of the serious leisure perspective to understanding volunteer motivation. This second approach began more than 40 years ago. It answers the key motivational question of why people...

ISBN: 9781412842723 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A range of thinkers in philosophy, religion, and the social sciences have argued that thanks to science, technology, and the organization of society, the human condition has improved and will continue to do so. People are becoming progressively happier and enjoying an ever-improving quality of life, they say, mostly because they are putting their skills and reason to work. The Idea of Leisure is based on the assumption that leisure also fits into the social order, and it provides a singular vector by which to measure progress, even though it is rarely mentioned in writings about...

The Committed Reader: Reading for Utility, Pleasure, and Fulfillment in the Twenty-First Century
ISBN: 9780810885967 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Committed utilitarian reading is either dominantly practical or more or less equally practical and fulfilling. Pleasurable reading is conceptualized as an important kind of casual leisure, experienced primarily as relaxation, active entertainment, and sexual stimulation (racy, pornographic stories). Such reading can also be a launching pad for day-dreams or lively conversation. Self-fulfilling reading is explored in a disquisition on the liberal arts hobbies. This is no place for speed reading, but instead is where we care to pause often to appreciate the artistry of the writing, creativity...
