Leisure Futures, Leisure Cultures: Papers from the 5th ANZALS and 3rd Women in Leisure International Conferences (Sue Colyer & Francis Lobo (Eds)). ISBN: 1 876394 07 2. The 5th Biennial International Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Leisure Studies (ANZALS), in conjunction with the 3rd Women in Leisure International Conference was held in Fremantle, Western Australia in July 2001. The theme of the conference was: Leisure Futures, Leisure Cultures. The location of the conference reflected the theme. Fremantle offered delegates a unique experience of history, culture and a glimpse of the future. This edited book contains fourteen refereed articles from over 100 paper, poster and workshop presentations made over a five-day period on leisure futures and cultures. As leisure remains prominent in the lifestyle debate, the papers address the increasing demands on modern society to achieve cultural diversity and harmony in constructed and natural environments. The articles debate the past, assess the present and contribute to our understanding of the future of leisure in its many forms and from diverse cultural perspectives. This publication is organised in three sections: leisure through the lifespan; leisure tourism and the outdoors; and leisure and cultural issues.
