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 thelandscape of developmental science and makes a compelling case for the benefits of play.Edited by respected play researcher Anthony D.
