The People At Play is a book written by Rollin Lynde Hartt and published in 1909. The book is a comprehensive study of the recreational activities of people across different cultures and societies. It explores the various forms of play that people engage in and the ways in which these activities reflect the social, cultural, and economic conditions of their communities.Hartt's book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of play. He begins by examining the origins and evolution of play, and how it has been shaped by human history and culture. He then goes on to explore the different types of play, such as games, sports, and other leisure activities, and how they vary across different cultures and societies.The book also delves into the social and psychological aspects of play, such as the role it plays in socialization, the development of skills and abilities, and the formation of identity. Hartt also looks at the economic and political dimensions of play, such as the impact of commercialization and globalization on recreational activities, and the ways in which governments and other institutions regulate and control play.Overall, The People At Play is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the human impulse to play, and the many ways in which this impulse is expressed across different cultures and societies. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, sociology, or psychology of play, and provides a rich and nuanced perspective on this essential aspect of human life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
