The first chapter provides the reader with an introduction to the project, as well as a conceptual understanding of the process. The remainder of the book is that which is really important—the stories of ten students and how they expanded their leisure skills and knowledge as ways to enhance academic, social, and life skills, as well as to experience success, self-esteem, new friendships and enjoyment. The qualitative case studies are followed by a summary chapter of conclusions drawn based on the data. Year: 2005 Pages: 242
