Reviews
Play and the Human Condition is a book as ambitious as its title... An erudite reading of the vast tradition of play studies, from sociology and psychology to cultural anthropology. It is also an original contribution to understanding play--provocative, informative and enlightening. --American Journal of Play This work will help shape and unify the field of play studies. I have not read its equal; in fact, there is nothing elsewhere quite like it. --Scott G. Eberle, vice president for play studies at The Strong National Museum of Play
