There are many surprises to be found in these pages, not least the psychiatrist's new look at anxiety, the management theorist's explanation for the success of Japanese firms, the Soviet philosopher's report on sociobiology in the U. S. S. R., the explanation given for the keeping of harems in ancient kingdoms, and the economist's view as to why people care if a bargain price is really a fair price - all cast in sociobiological terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Maxwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791407675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791407677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs","brand":"Mary Maxwell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448942342399,"sku":"9780791407677","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad044150-a1f2-4322-a3b5-235c942c3979.jpg?v=1777261275","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sociobiological-imagination-mary-maxwell-9780791407677","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
