"This book is a highly illustrated and
accessible
introduction to visual intelligence, informed by the latest
breakthroughs
in vision research. Perhaps the most surprising insight that has
emerged
from vision research is this: Vision is not merely a matter of passive
perception,
it is an intelligent process of active construction. What you see is,
invariably,
what your visual intelligence constructs. Just as scientists
intelligently

"Chaotic
Elections; A Mathematician Looks at Voting" This expository book shows how to identify and characterize a disturbingly large number of paradoxical situations the arise from the choice of a voting procedure. Rather than being able to dismiss them as anomalies, the likelihood of a dubious election result is surprisingly large. Postive results are obtained |

Contract"

"The Stag Hunt and
the
Evolution of Social Structure" Brian Skyrms, author of the successful Evolution of the Social Contract (which won the prestigious Lakatos Award) has written a sequel. The new book is a study of ideas of cooperation and collective action. The point of departure is a prototypical story found in Rousseau’s A Discourse on Inequality. Rousseau contrasts the pay-off of hunting hare where the risk of non-cooperation is small but the reward is equally small, against the pay-off of hunting the stag where maximum cooperation is required but where the reward is so much greater. Thus, rational agents are pulled in one direction by considerations of risk and in another by considerations of mutual benefit. Written with all Skyrms’s characteristic clarity and verve, this intriguing book will be eagerly sought out by students and professionals in philosophy, political science, economics, sociology and evolutionary biology.

 Network Analysis and Ethnographic Problems Douglas R. White and Ulla Johanson2005, Lexington Press, Boston. ISBN # 0-7391-0896-4 “[W]hat could
be the most important book in anthropology in fifty
years,“ writes a reviewer for the International
Journal of MiddleEast Studies, “begins with an introduction to network
analysis in relation to ethnography, providing a succinct history of
network
thinking including very recent developments in various disciplines
about
network topology and dynamics.” “In addition to its contribution to our
understanding kinship theory in a quite new way, this book makes an
outstanding
contribution by reintroducing ethnographers to the network
perspective.” “The
authors point out that ‘taking a network path to coding and analysis’
in
ethnography leads to the ability to understand the emergence of social
structural phenomena that would otherwise remain unobserved.” “Whether
the
reader is interested in kinship, in economics, in politics or history,
this
book might be considered must reading.”

 Foundations For Social and

Ideas about social structure and social
networks are very old. People have always believed that biological and
social links among individuals are important. But it wasn’t until the
early 1930s that systematic research that explored the patterning of
social ties linking individuals emerged. And it emerged, not once, but
several times in several different social science fields and in several
places. This book reviews these developments and explores the social
processes that wove all these “schools” of network analysis together
into a single coherent approach
