""In this ambitious book, Peter D. McDonald traces the critical rise of play as a modern medium of expression and as an element of design. His analysis of commercial toys and games, the embodied role of the player, and the artistic production of the avant-garde artist offers a new model for thinking about imaginative intellectual engagement with the material world.""—Amy F. Ogata, University of Southern California
