Book excerpt: This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. Play engages us entirely. It may absorb all our attention, experience, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, cunning and wit, as well as physical agility and strength. There definitely are more than two sides to the play story. This book addresses the broad questions of what play consists in, how it is perceived, why it is important, and in what way(s) it influences our life. With contributions from Canada, Great Britain, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, The United States of America as well as Trinidad and Tobago, this volume provides a comparative intercultural and interdisciplinary perspective on the complexity of the concept of play, traces its origins, patterns, and mechanisms, as well as sheds light on the inter-relationships of different aspects of play as they are present in and shape the human condition.
