'This book brings to life a human right which is often overlooked or ridiculed. The author does this through great depth of research and analysis, which is evidence-based and persuasive, as well as it being engagingly written.'Professor Robert McCorquodale
, Emeritus Professor of International Law and Human Rights, University of Nottingham and Member of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights
'In this book, Lott crafts a much-needed detailed critical analysis of the scope and content of the right to play, its legal history and the challenges faced and those still to overcome in realising children's right to play.'
Ben Tawil
, Director, Ludicology
'As this book is the most comprehensive and thoroughly researched study of a neglected but vital right, in my opinion, it should be essential reading for anyone in law, public policy and decision making, anyone involved in the education of children or teachers, and all those whose decision making touches the lives of children.'
Michael Follett (2024) The right of the child to play: from conception to implementation, International Journal of Play, DOI: 10.1080/21594937.2024.2305598

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
