Review
'Inspirational. . . a blueprint on how to do science properly - and good science is never exclusive.' --Times Higher Educational Supplement

'Sergio and Vivien Pellis s adventure into the wonders of the 'playful brain' has fully legitimized play science as a mainstream discipline. A treat to read.' --Stuart Brown, Founder and President of The National Institute for Play

Product Description
What behaviour qualifies as play, what brain mechanisms are needed to produce play, and of what benefit does play have to our lives? With reference to a range of species, but using the feisty rat as their model, the authors synthesize three decades of empirical research to create the first truly integrated study that appreciates the significance of such previously neglected phenomena as the multi-functionality of play and the differences that exist between species.
