Robert Axelrod
Quid Pro Quo The Theory of Cooperative Behaviour
How to succeed in a world of selfish people: strategists, negotiators, decision makers, managers, those with common sense, as well as good (or bad) faith operators will find food for thought in this exploration of reasoning. Once thought patterns are understood, cooperation can thrive -- even in the most unfavorable of situations. Game theory specialist Robert Axelrod teaches political science at the University of Michigan.
Uta Frith
Autism: Explaining the Enigma
Why do certain children live walled in by silence, cut off from the world and others? For the first time, this book offers a general theory on autism, a profound disorder in cognitive development rather than one resulting from family conflict or an attention deficit. Uta Frith is a psychologist and member of a cognitive development study group at the Medical Research Council of Cambridge.
