Recenzje

'As societies change, so must the techniques educators use to foster play in children's lives. Each article is well written and accompanied by an extensive bibliography supporting the article's specific focus. One of the refreshing points made is that childhood is its own time and not merely a preparation for adulthood. This volume offers much to those experienced in the field of play and to those new to it.' S. Sugarman, Choice
