Kobayashi K: The Mystery of the
Ultimatum Game

The Mystery of the Ultimatum Game

Why We Are Predictably Irrational

Theoretical and Policy Perspectives

Social and Behavioural Macroeconomics

Oxford Landmark Science

Celebrating 50 years with a new anniversary edition, this critically acclaimed international bestseller has sold millions of copies and been translated into over 30 languages.

Among the most influential and enduring science books of all time, The Selfish Gene is a classic in every sense of the word. Originally published in 1976, the book soon galvanized the biology community and fascinated a broad general readership. Professor Dawkins's gene's-eye view of evolution introduced a completely novel way of looking at survival. Fifty years later, The Selfish Gene still sparks fascination and debate among scientists and science-enthusiasts alike, inspiring new directions in research and fresh generations of young life scientists. First-time and returning readers will marvel at the timelessness and universality of this monumental work. 

In a new epilogue to the 50th anniversary edition, Professor Dawkins reflects on his signature publication and its enduring relevance and appeal. This edition also contains a new appendix, which sheds historical and personal light on the perpetual relevance of the 'selfish gene'. 

Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.

50th Anniversary Edition

The Selfish Gene

Springer Texts in Business and Economics

This textbook systematically examines cognitive biases, heuristics, and emotional influences that shape investors’ decisions throughout the entrepreneurial journey, from evaluating opportunities to securing funding, valuation, and exit strategies. Based on principles from behavioral finance and cognitive psychology, this book questions the traditional belief in rationality.While mainstream finance emphasizes risk and return, entrepreneurial finance deals with managing extreme uncertainty and very high risk. Startups without proof of technology and with still-developing business models, operating in weakly defined markets, are seeking funding. Behavioral finance offers tools to understand how investors decide in these challenging environments. This book explores how mental shortcuts (heuristics) and systematic deviations from rationality (biases) interact with the unique aspects of entrepreneurial settings. It provides a multidisciplinary, empirically grounded approach for students, researchers, and practitioners.

A bold and brilliant new collection of essays by one of our most important writers of life in America today This new collection gathers together for the first time sixteen essays by one of our most revered chroniclers of life in America, a landmark commentary on family, faith, community, and the threats of modernization. Ranging from the devastating effects of war on children to the endless problems of industrialism and the ubiquitous need for connection and community, Dispatches From Rural America captures a country isolated from its land and beginnings, too focused on mass production and output, and perilously estranged from the spiritual centers that make up the foundation of our lives.&nbsp; On the cusp of the fiftieth anniversary of Berry’s seminal book The Unsettling of America, Dispatches From Rural America is urgent and vital reading in this time of political chaos from one of our most important writers.

Dispatches from Rural America

Humans - who are we? Physically, Homo sapiens is unremarkable in the animal world - a hairless ape. But somehow, in combination, our characteristics make us remarkable. With our dexterity and brain power, we discovered ways of finding food and beating the elements not only in our home on the African savanna, but in every habitat from jungle to Arctic waste. Humans tells the story of our evolution with beautiful illustrations of our seemingly ordinary anatomy alongside colourful, mind-expanding graphics of what we have achieved with it. This book is: <ul><li>shaped and guided by broadcaster and expert in anatomy and archaeology, Professor Alice Roberts</li><li>written by an international team of experts in many fields of human evolution, including archaeology, palaeontology, anthropology, and cognitive science</li><li>built from chapters about the evolution of different parts of the body, giving an instant, familiar way in to the topic</li></ul> This thought-provoking book presents the latest advances in understanding human evolution, challenging old myths and baked-in misconceptions - all through the lens of the human body. Each chapter tackles a different body part, showing how it has evolved and the role it has played. The story of hands, for instance, begins with the first animals with limbs, which clambered onto land 375 million years ago, but goes on to show how humans use the unique precision and power in their grasping digits - and their ability to teach one another skills - to create ever-more sophisticated technology. Visually vibrant and rich, this book features not only beautiful illustrations, but also photos of prehistoric art, tools, jewellery, and recreations of all of these made by experimental archaeologists. Humans asks intriguing universal questions about our origins and nature. When did we invent clothes? Did we always form pair bonds? How did prehistoric people cross the ocean? Are we the only animals to become self-aware? Find out who we are, where we come from, and perhaps - where we're going.

The Evolution of a Species

This book explores the foundations of the principle of altruism and its relationship to the criminal law, examining the contrasting justifications for the duty of easy rescue and the duty of tolerance, both of which are based on altruism. Since the days of Lord Macaulay and James FitzJames Stephen, it has been said that English law does not usually punish omissions, and that altruistic duties are incompatible with the spirit of the common law. This book aims to show that this is not an accurate description of English criminal law, and that there is a strong case to be made for the opposite understanding, based on principles advanced by authors such as Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill and others. By analysing the duty of easy rescue - which imposes on individuals a duty to take steps to rescue a person in danger if this can be done without risk to the rescuer, or at least a duty to call the emergency services - and by comparing it with the well-known duties arising in cases of extreme necessity, it can be shown that altruism has plenty to say in different parts of the criminal law. Having established the case for criminalising the failure to provide a simple rescue, a detailed analysis is made of the form that this criminalisation should take, bearing in mind the basic principles of English law and considering the strengths and weaknesses of the duty of easy rescue as it is formulated in various continental systems, including the German, French, Spanish and Italian criminal codes.

A Field Guide to Urban Economics

Why are we so often in conflict - arguing with ourselves and with others, uncertain over who we are and what we want?For thousands of years, writers, thinkers and philosophers have seen life as a battle between the guiding power of reason and a disruptive animal within. In a world where fierce culture wars and endless newsfeeds turn up the tension, how can we overcome our uncertainties and know the many sides of ourselves?In The Animal and the Thinker, pioneering neuroscientist John Duncan lays out the principles, strengths and weaknesses of instinct and reason. Though often they are seen as rivals, each brings something essential to the human mind. Instinct struggles with modern civilisation - but brings value and meaning. Reason brings an infinity of new ideas - but alone is helpless. It is in their dialogue that we find answers to life's biggest questions.This book explains who we are and how our minds work, helping us understand why we are often faced with challenging conflicts in our lives and how we can navigate the eternal questions that shape us, such as: · determining right from wrong· balancing freedom with responsibility· exploring the differences between men and women· navigating democracy and justice· choosing between ambition and fulfilmentThe Animal and the Thinker offers a deeper understanding of the human condition and the mind so that we can better understand when to think fast and follow our instincts - and when, instead, we should temper our impulses with slower logical reasoning.'John Duncan is one of the most interesting and thoughtful scientists to tackle the complexities of the human brain' Professor Sophie Scott CBE, University of London'A tour de force. John Duncan has marshalled his experience as a world-class cognitive neuroscientist and writes with an elegant clarity which is simultaneously thought-provoking and entertaining' Professor Sir Simon Baron-Cohen, University of Cambridge'Electric ... a book full of good science, sage advice and deep understanding of the human condition' Professor Robin Dunbar, University of Oxford

The Animal and the Thinker

This book focuses on four key parts of the Blockchain ecosystem, which are the most relevant for financial services executives: Tokenomics and Digital Platforms, Markets, Privacy and the emerging phenomenon of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

Tokenomics and Digital Platforms explores some of the key tenants of distributed ledger technology. Markets introduces important dynamics of both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Privacy describes the cryptographic primitives that enable safe, blockchain-based digital transactions, perhaps the most critical infrastructure for global adoption of Web3. The last part of the book on DAOs highlights benefits but also risks and boundaries of the emerging new form of organization.

Each part is introduced in a short chapter to set the stage, followed by the contributions of selected scholars. The chapters explain not only what the phenomenon in question is, but also what the associated opportunities and risks are. They highlight what practitioners can do with the insight their research provides.

All chapters are short, easy-to-read, and tailored to the practitioners who need to understand these topics but whose busy schedule doesn’t allow for enough time to read full academic articles to do so.

How to guide and support societal changes driven by geopolitical turbulence, technological advances like AI, and the green energy transition. Steering Structural Change explores looming transformations that both advanced and developing economies face as rising geopolitical tensions, accelerating climate change, and advances in technology disrupt economic structures. These seismic factors demand a fundamental reconsideration of economic policies. Even though there is a general understanding of the policy measures and reforms needed at this juncture, the unequal economic effects and political economy obstacles that they entail can impede their implementation. Technological advances, such as digitalization, automation, and AI, will disrupt labor markets as productivity improvements enhance some occupations but obviate others. The clear aggregate benefits of technological progress will come with large and long-lasting adjustment costs. Uniquely captured in this edited collection, the current debate among experts and economists will help guide the design of effective policies to prepare workers, ease the process of reallocation, and ensure that the collective benefits are broadly shared.

Steering Structural Change

Warum greifen wir zum Handy, obwohl wir eigentlich Ruhe brauchen? Warum stresst uns eine kurze E-Mail mehr, als sie sollte? Warum fällt Veränderung so schwer, obwohl wir genau wissen, was uns guttun würde?
Dieses Buch zeigt: Viele moderne Probleme sind keine Zeichen von Schwäche, Faulheit oder mangelnder Disziplin. Sie entstehen, weil ein uraltes Gehirn in einer hochmodernen Welt zurechtkommen muss.
Unser Körper wurde für Bewegung gebaut, lebt aber oft im Sitzen. Unser Gehirn entwickelte sich in kleinen Gruppen, vergleicht sich heute aber täglich mit Tausenden Menschen. Unser Alarmsystem war für echte Gefahren gedacht, reagiert nun auf Termine, Nachrichten, Kritik, Geldsorgen und digitale Dauerreize.
Leicht verständlich, alltagsnah und mit einem Augenzwinkern erklärt dieses Buch, wie Erkenntnisse aus Evolutionspsychologie, Stressforschung, Arbeitspsychologie und Gesundheitswissenschaften helfen können, den modernen Alltag besser zu verstehen.
Es geht um Ernährung, Schlaf, Stress, Social Media, Status, Beziehungen, Geld, Führung, Meetings, Homeoffice, Denkfehler und Gewohnheiten. Immer mit der zentralen Frage: Was passiert, wenn unser innerer Steinzeitmensch auf Büro, Smartphone und Großstadtdschungel trifft?
Dieses Buch ist kein Aufruf zurück in die Steinzeit. Es ist eine Einladung, moderner zu leben, ohne die eigene Biologie zu ignorieren.
Für alle, die sich selbst besser verstehen, gelassener handeln und ihren Alltag menschlicher gestalten möchten.

Wie die Evolution unseren Alltag beherrscht
