First published in 1987. Following an introductory chapter on the
nature of theory and the outline of the book, there are eight
chapters on the explanatory approaches, or models, employed in this
dialectical analysis of the leisure industry. These models focus on
particular elements of leisure: experience, decision, development,
identities, interaction, institutions, political forces, and human
definitions. With a new preface to the re-issue by the author, this
title will be of great interest to students of Sociology and
Leisure Studies.
First published in 1983. Leisure has too often been approached as a
set of activities that people do when everything important has been
completed. This text provides a different analysis demonstrating
the centrality of leisure to human development and to important
relationships. In Leisure Identities and Interactions the author
analyses leisure in the context of role changes through the life
course, but also as a social context in which we work out the
identities that express who we really want to be. His focus is on
the kinds of leisure that are both most common and most significant
face-to-face encounters, family interaction, and episodes found in
the midst of our roles and routines. Varieties of leisure styles
are found to be developed out of available opportunities and in
relation to cultural values, but also are chosen to express and
negotiate our self-definitions. Leisure is both social and
existential and can best be understood in the dialectic of role
expectations and decision. Kelly utilizes symbolic interaction,
interpretive, and dramaturgical metaphors to develop a different
sociology of leisure one that brings together the concepts of role
and identity. Expressive identities and intimate communities are as
essential to leisure as they are to life.
Never before have the pressures of a comparative and competitive
world impacted on our sense of wellbeing, particularly among young
adults. Building on the principles of Giving Voice to Values, which
honors the complexity and difficulty of leading with our values,
this book addresses the unique challenges faced by young adults. It
provides a clear process that details how to harness natural wisdom
to flourish through the relentless pace and pressure of today's
world. Moving beyond mere values clarification, Authentic
Excellence helps the reader to develop a deeper relationship with
their values and confidently express them, and builds effective
coping skills to manage the relentless noise of our comparative and
competitive world. Authentic Excellence answers five primary
questions: How are young adults affected by this world of
relentless change and pressure? Why are young adults vulnerable to
a plateau that can negatively affect their resilience? What is the
difference between fear-based excellence and authentic excellence
and what role do values play in this distinction? What is necessary
to move beyond fear-based excellence and why is it so hard? How do
you train a deeper level of effectiveness that includes more
consistent productivity, fulfillment and resilience?

The author covers fourteen tools to help you find the information
you need and offers step-by-step instructions for constructing each
one. He shows you how these tools can be combined with a set of
simple problem-solving steps that can act as a powerful change
agent to help reduce or eliminate process problems. Five-Step
Problem-Solving Process Identify the problem: Clearly state what
needs improvement. Analyze: Determine what causes the problem to
occur. Evaluate Alternatives: Identify and select actions to reduce
or eliminate the problem. Test Implement: Implement these actions
on a trial basis to determine their effectiveness. Standardize:
Ensure that useful actions are preserved.

Providing theoretical and applied analyses of Michel Henry's
practical philosophy in light of his guiding idea of Life, this is
the first sustained exploration of Henry's practical thought in
anglophone literature, reaffirming his centrality to contemporary
continental thought. This book ranges from the tension between his
methodological insistence on life as non-intentional and worldly
activities to Henry's engagement with the practical philosophy of
intellectuals such as Marx, Freud, and Kandisky to topics of
application such as labor, abstract art, education, political
liberalism, and spiritual life. An international team of leading
Henry scholars examine a vital dimension of Henry's thinking that
has remained under-explored for too long.
Over the past forty years, the criminal justice system in the
United States has engaged in a very expensive policy failure,
attempting to punish its way to public safety, with dismal results.
So-called "tough on crime" policies have not only failed to
effectively reduce crime, recidivism, and victimization but also
created an incredibly inefficient system that routinely fails the
public, taxpayers, crime victims, criminal offenders, their
families, and their communities. Strategies that focus on behavior
change are much more productive and cost effective for reducing
crime than punishment, and in this book, William R. Kelly discusses
the policy, process, and funding innovations and priorities that
the United States needs to effectively reduce crime, recidivism,
victimization, and cost. He recommends proactive, evidence-based
interventions to address criminogenic behavior; collaborative
decision making from a variety of professions and disciplines; and
a focus on innovative alternatives to incarceration, such as
problem-solving courts and probation. Students, professionals, and
policy makers alike will find in this comprehensive text a bracing
discussion of how our criminal justice system became broken and the
best strategies by which to fix it.
