Critical Mass

Autor Philip Ball
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 feb 2005
Is there a 'physics of society'? Ranging from Hobbes and Adam Smith to modern work on traffic flow and market trading, and across economics, sociology and psychology, this title shows how much we can understand of human behaviour when we cease to try to predict and analyse the behaviour of individuals.

Recenzii

"Exquisitely produced and painstakingly researched... Ball writes patiently and eloquently. Exciting... A rousing call-to-arms, and an elegant answer to the shallow tradition of British empiricism." Independent "In his fascinating new book, Critical Mass, Philip Ball tells the story of this research in a comprehensive and often captivating way... Ball delves far beyond today's headlines... Impressively clear and breathtaking in scope... Substantial, impeccably researched and...persuasive. For anyone who would like to learn about the intellectual ferment at the surprising junction of physics and social science, Critical Mass is the place to start." Nature "Lucid, accessible and engaging... Ball makes a persuasive, comprehensive case and it's a welcome antidote to popular individualistic thought." Glasgow Herald "Critical Mass fizzes with ideas and insights" The Guardian "more than a book, this in an intellectual curiosity" Independent on Sunday

Descriere

Ball shows how much can be understood of human behavior when we cease to predict and analyze the behavior of individuals and instead look to the impact of individual decisions--whether in circumstances of cooperation or conflict--on our laws, institutions and customs.
