  This anatomy of the nature of leisure today examines how the leisure society evolved as workers became liberated from the rigours of industrial manufacture, but how it, at the same time, imposes rigours of its own on those who service it - the croupiers, the waiters, the nannies. The author's focus is on the human dimension, describing how the quest for leisure affects both those who seek it and those who provide it.
