Product Description

Product Description

Stuart Brown, a physician, psychiatrist and clinical researcher, has made a career of studying the effects of play on people and animals. His conclusion is that play is no less important than oxygen - and that it's a powerful force in nature that helps determine the likelihood of the very survival of the human race. Sprinkled with anecdotes demonstrating the play habits of subjects as diverse as polar bears and corporate CEOs, Brown and co-writer Vaughan present a compelling case for promoting play at every age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make this your next read, 13 April 2009
By Helen Spencer (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A very informative book about play and its purpose to our survival. Stuart Brown's use of coherent language makes it a clear and concise read at any level. Once you start reading you wont be able to put it down and you will take on daily life in a completely different and playful way! A wonderful book that must have given Stuart Brown great pleasure in writing.
