**Unlock the Secrets of Play with David Toomey’s *The Kingdom of Play***
What purpose do a dog’s playful bow or a piglet’s joyful tumble serve? In The Kingdom of Play, biologist David Toomey delves into the nature, meaning, and mysteries of play behavior across the animal kingdom—from bumblebees to humans. This engaging book transforms a wealth of scientific research into a cohesive narrative, exploring the defining features of play, its prevalence among diverse species, its evolutionary history, and its neurological underpinnings. Toomey argues that play is far from a uniquely human trait; rather, it is a product of natural selection that also provides rich material for further evolution. The work examines how play impacts the lives of individuals and shapes the trajectory of entire species. Whether you're a Liverpool FC fan curious about the instincts behind the game or simply fascinated by animal behavior, this book offers a compelling look at why play matters. Price: 1415.00 RUR
