Zusammenfassung:
'Solitary Action' presents a unique and engaging view of the world of behaviours individuals perform by themselves. The book's central claim is that solitary action, in its many diverse and often highly absorbing forms, is as prevalent in everyday life as the complimentary domain of social interaction.
