Solitary Action

'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. But, while there are numerous studies of social interaction, this is the first work in social theory to develop an understanding of what people do when they are on their own.
