Review
"A sign of our scientific times: The study of play (a process we value as a society) has lagged far behind the study of fear (a process we abhor). Burghardt now puts matters back in perspective with his critically open-minded and exquisitely detailed excursion through the evolutionary spectrum of playfulness on the face of the earth."--Jaak Panksepp, Distinguished Research Professor, Emeritus, Bowling Green State University, author of *Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions* "*The Genesis of Animal Play* is the most comprehensive interdisciplinary study I've seen on this most mysterious behavior. It will be a keystone work for all those interested in the evolution and development of play, but it covers a remarkably broad range of other topics. Do octopi, turtles, or fish play? Read this book and find out. I did, and learned much even after three decades of studying carnivores at play."--Marc Bekoff, University of Colorado, author of *Minding Animals* and editor of *Animal Play* and *Encyclopedia Of Animal Behavior*
