The role of play in human development has long been the subject of
controversy. Despite being championed by many of the foremost
scholars of the twentieth century, play has been dogged by
underrepresentation and marginalization in literature across the
scientific disciplines. The Oxford Handbook of the Development of
Play marks the first attempt to examine the development of
children's play through a rigorous and multidisciplinary approach.
Comprising chapters from the foremost scholars in psychology,
anthropology, and evolutionary biology, this handbook resets the
landscape of developmental science and makes a compelling case for
the benefits of play. Edited by respected play researcher Anthony
D. Pellegrini, The Oxford Handbook of the Development of Play is
both a scientific accomplishment and a shot across the bow for
parents, educators, and policymakers regarding the importance of
children's play in both development and learning.
