Fisher shows how the modern science of game theory has helped biologists to understand the evolution of cooperation in nature, and investigates how we might apply those lessons to our own society. In a series of experiments that take him from the polite confines of an English dinner party to crowded supermarkets, congested Indian roads, and the wilds of outback Australia, not to mention baseball strategies and the intricacies of quantum mechanics, Fisher sheds light on the problem of global cooperation. The outcomes are sometimes hilarious, sometimes alarming, but always revealing. A witty romp through a serious science, \u003ci\u003eRock, Paper, Scissors\u003c\/i\u003e will both teach and delight anyone interested in what it what it takes to get people to work together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Len Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465009387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465009381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/22\/2008 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2008 pg. 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2008 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScientific American\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009","brand":"Len Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044778176767,"sku":"9780465009381","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27373965-696e-4d48-b8ba-ae45ea684b52.jpg?v=1684974835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rock-paper-scissors-len-fisher-9780465009381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
