  • Used

Is it possible that Americans have more free time than they did 30 years ago? While few may believe it, research based on careful records of how Americans actually spend their time says that they have almost five hours more free time than in the 1960s. In this book, time-experts Robinson and Godbey explain this surprising trend and how it has come about.
