Sommario/riassunto

Taking a global look at human occupation, this groundbreaking text comprehensively explores people’s participation in their respective



lives’ endeavors within their environments, their societies, and with each other.  A renowned team of authors takes the view that occupations include all meaningful acts that collectively define and give meaning to daily life.  This resource communicates a breadth of new information on the study of occupation–the defining experiences that reflect how culture, values, and opportunities shape everyday life.
