An Outline of a Theory of Play
Play is often dismissed as trivial, yet it is a fundamental and adaptive aspect of human and mammalian life. This paper develops a sociological theory of play, treating it as a total social fact that spans biological, psychological, and social dimensions.

Ba[C(CN)3]2 and Pb[C(CN)3]2: Two Remarkably Different Heavy Main‐Group Metal Bistricyanomethanides
Metathesis reactions of either barium dichloride, BaCl2, or lead dichloride, PbCl2, respectively, with Ag[C(CN)3] in water yielded single crystals of anhydrous Ba[C(CN)3]2 and Pb[C(CN)3]2. Ba[C(CN)3]2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n (no. 14) with the lattice parameters a = 437.98(3) pm, b = 1685.36(11) pm, c = 1398.87(9) pm, β = 96.541(

Attentive to the ways that inertia can take hold of life, Catholic monks recognize despondency as a potential not only within the monastery, but in contemporary society more widely. Such experiences are regularly mapped onto an understanding of what early Christian monks termed ‘acedia’ (a Greek term that can be translated as ‘lack of care’). Taking as

School Board Elections in England and Wales, 1870–1902: An Electoral Experiment?
Abstract The 1870 Elementary Education Act enabled the creation of school boards in England and Wales. Members were directly elected by the cumulative vote. This method gave each individual voter as many votes as there were seats on a school board, in some cases up to fifteen.

PERSPECTIVES ON URBAN LONELINESS: City Paths Toward (Un)common Lifeworlds
Abstract Urban loneliness can manifest in various ways, and social connection is not always the solution. While some people find peace in spending time alone in public places, finding solitude can be challenging. Through the lens of social infrastructure and third places, I examine how dining establishments in Basel, Switzerland, influence the ...
