In Homo Ludens, Johan Huizinga defines play as the central activity in flourishing societies. He identifies five characteristics of play: it is free; it is not ¿ordinary¿ or ¿real¿ life; it is distinct from ¿ordinary¿ life both as to locality and duration; it creates order; it is connected with no material interest, and from it no profit can be gained.

Importance of Play
Incredibly informative book. Written in an accessible way for the layman. If you want to study the role of play in humans and animals this is the best book you can get. Can heartily recommend it. 5 stars
