Von der hinteren Coverseite

Perspectives on Play was the first text of its kind to examine the theory of play, relating cutting-edge research to case studies of practice, taken from a broad range of multi-disciplinary perspectives.

"In my view, this text is already a market leader for the theme of ‘Play’.  It gives value for money as a comprehensive text."

Dihann Gallard, Liverpool John Moores University
