This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multispecies Leisure: Human-Animal Interactions in Leisure Landscapes seeks to ‘bring the animal in’ to the leisure studies domain and contribute to greater understanding of leisure as a complex, interwoven multispecies phenomenon. The emerging multidisciplinary field of human-animal studies encourages researchers to move beyond narrow focus on human-centric practices and ways of being in the world, and to recognise that human and non-human beings are positioned within shared ecological, social, cultural and political spaces. With some exceptions, leisure studies has been slow to embrace the ‘animal turn’ and consider how leisure actions, experiences and landscapes are shaped through multispecies encounters between humans, other animals, birds and insects, plants and environment. This book begins to address this gap by presenting research that considers leisure as more-than-human experiences. The authors consider leisure with nonhuman others (e.g. dogs, horses), affecting those others (e.g. environmental concerns) and affected by the non-human (e.g. landscape, weather), by exploring the ‘contact zones’ between humans and other species. Thus, this work contributes to greater understanding of leisure as a complex, multispecies phenomenon. The chapters in this book were originally published as a Special Issue of the Leisure Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greyhound racing emerged rapidly in Britain in 1926 but in its early years was subject to rabid institutional middle-class opposition largely because of the legal gambling opportunities it offered to the working class. Though condemned as a dissipate and impoverishing activity, it was, in fact, a significant leisure opportunity for the working class, which cost little for the minority of bettors involved in what was clearly little more than a ‘bit of the flutter’ , This book is the first national study of greyhound racing in Britain from its beginnings, to its heyday in the 1930s and 1940s, and up its long slow decline of the late twentieth century. Much of the study will be defined by the dominating issue of working-class gambling and the bitter opposition to both it and greyhound racing, although the attractions of this ‘American Night Out’ will also be examined.

Book excerpt: Dog lovers, rejoice! This wonderful, whimsical collection of trivia, anecdotes, quotations, musings, and legends is a charming tribute to man’s best friend. Beautifully illustrated, chock-full of little-known facts and intriguing tales, this must-have compendium gives us skydiving dogs, swimming dogs, dogs that don’t shed, dogs that don’t give up, dogs that have set records, and dogs whose loyalty to their masters is the very essence of the most remarkable interspecies relationship on earth. Chronicling the fascinating background of both popular and rare breeds around the world, Dogs’ Miscellany pays homage to famous dogs throughout the ages, ordinary dogs that have behaved famously, and dogs of famous people—from Mary Queen of Scots (who hid her Skye terrier under petticoats when she went to her execution) to Paris Hilton, dog lover. Here are curious tales of canine brilliance and literary quotations from the work of such authors as Emily Brontë, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Jack London. And here are dogs as they appear in the Bible, in Shakespeare, at work, at play, in our language (“dog days,” “hair of the dog,” “doggone”), in Native American wisdom, on a tombstone inscribed by Lord Byron to his dog, Boatswain, and in an afterlife imagined in Hindu legend. What is the smallest dog ever recorded? How quickly can a Border Collie roll down a mechanical car window? Should you think twice before giving a dog a bone? From the ridiculous to the sublime, the answers are here in a book that is at once a celebration, an education, and an essential literary companion for dog lovers everywhere. From the Hardcover edition.
