Book Description
Barash synthesizes the newest ideas from psychology, economics, and biology to explore the roots of human strategy. Drawing on game theory -- the study of how individuals make decisions -- he delves into the give-and-take of scheduling plans with a spouse and the maneuvers of an arms race alongside the strategies of "less rational" animals. He explains the classice Hawk-Dove stand-off, where people opt to be aggressive or yielding, and draws analogies to the territorial battles of speckled wood butterfiles. The Prisoner's Dilemma, the Game of Chicken, and Follow the Leader turn up in examples as disparate as investor's picks in a market bubble and the mating antics of the yellow dung fly. Barash ultimately sheds light on what makes our decisions human, and what we can glean from game theory and the natural world as we negotiate and compete with others in our daily lives. - BOOK JACKET.
