Synopsis

The essays from prominent public intellectuals collected in this volume reflect an array of perspectives on the spectrum of conflict, competition, and cooperation, as well as a wealth of expertise on how games manifest in the world, how they operate, and how social animals behave inside them. They include previously unpublished material by former Cabinet minister Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the philosopher A. C. Grayling, legal scholar Nicola Padfield, cycling coach David Brailsford, former military intelligence officer Frank Ledwidge, neuro-psychologist Barbara Sahakian, zoological ecologist Nicholas Davies, and the final work of the late Nobel laureate Thomas Schelling. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, nature, and dynamics of games.
