For fifteen years, Robert Stebbins has conducted extensive research on amateurs and professionals in theatre, music, archaeology, astronomy, baseball, football, magic, and stand-up comedy. His publications are the only ones to give the theme of serious leisure such in-depth scholarly attention. In Amateurs, Professionals, and Serious Leisure, Stebbins brings together the findings of this research project to provide a theoretical framework that reveals the commonalities across these eight fields.
