Praised by "Entertainment Weekly" as "the man who put the fizz into
physics," Dr. Len Fisher turns his attention to the science of
cooperation in his lively and thought-provoking book. 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, "Rock, Paper, Scissors" will both teach
and delight anyone interested in what it what it takes to get
people to work together.
