From cover: New Strategies for Cooperation Praised by Entertainment Weekly as the man who "put the fizz into physics," IgNobel Prize-winner Len Fisher turns his attention to game theory to shed light on why we have trouble cooperating. His quest to understand what makes us all get along takes him to: • New York City sidewalks to play "chicken" with commuters • a child's birthday party to calculate the proper distribution of gifts • the polite confines of an English dinner party • the busy streets of India • the wilds of the Australian outback and more... In this lively and thought-provoking book, Fisher takes us from the problems of cooperation in everyday life to serious issues such as resource depletion, global warming, and conflict negotiation. The outcomes of his investigations are sometimes hilarious, sometimes alarming, but always revealing. Intriguing, informative, and timely, Rock, Paper, Scissors will delight anyone interested in what it takes to get people to work together.
