      abstract = {This book explores how play is perceived and practiced  through the lens of various different professional and  international contexts. Childrens experiences of play will  vary according to the different institutions and  organisations they are involved in across their lifespan  during childhood. The chapters cover play from pre-school  to adolescence that includes education, playwork and the  new developing area of intergenerational play. This wide  variety of contexts and cultures raises questions about  universal concepts and notions of play. The editors and  contributors explore how policy, practice and research can  identify both differences and commonalities between the way  that play is perceived and experienced by children and  adults across different types of provision. Pete King is  Senior Lecturer at Swansea University, UK. He has published  widely on play and playwork, both nationally and  internationally, including Researching Play from a Playwork  Perspective and The Play Cycle Theory, Research and  Application. He is currently researching the effects of the  COVID-19 in the United Kingdom on playwork. Shelly Newstead  is Adjunct Research Fellow at Griffith University,  Australia. She has worked in the playwork field for over 30  years as a practitioner, trainer, author, editor, publisher  and researcher. She is the Managing Editor of International  Journal of Playwork Practice and the President of the  International Council for Childrens Play (ICCP). .},
