This volume furthers discourse and understanding about the complex phenomenon we know as play. As with volume one, Diversions and Divergences in Fields of Play, Reifel’s purpose is to provide a forum for new thinking about "play in humans and animals ... across various cultural, social, and activity settings" (1998, p. xi). Necessarily, this effort cuts across various disciplines, including biology, anthropology, history, psychology, education, leisure studies, sociology, and any field in which play theories contribute.

I am a woman forty years of age. My father was a clergyman he had been many years dead. I was living, at the time I refer to, in my mot
