2 SLOVENKO, Ralph and James A. KNIGHT (eds.) KNIGHT, James A. (ed.) MENNINGER, Karl A. (preface) Motivations in Play, Games and Sports. in dj.
Charles C. Thomas, Publisher, Springfield, IL, 11967, 
SLOVENKO, Ralph and James A. KNIGHT (eds.). Motivations in Play, Games and Sports ; with a preface by Karl A. Menninger. Springfield, IL: Charles C. Thomas, Publisher, (1967). Pp. 745. Large 8vo, blue cloth. "The search for the meaning and significance of human events of one type or another has a long history, but there has been relatively little study of motivations in play, games and sports. Behavioral scientists have found the role of play in childhood to be loaded with significance, but the psychological meaning of games and sports in later life has remained relativel unexamined. Whenm the important role that sports occupy in the life of the individual and the group is condsidered, it is remarkable how little attention behavioral scientists have given to the subject. Why does man play? Why does he engage in games and sports? Over fifty outstanding participants thoroughly explore these questions in a highly imagiative and original sudy covering the wide world of sports. Although not all games and sports could be covered, this treatise offers a fascinating glimpse into the human spirit." - from the dj.
