Game theory for everyone and for anyone.

Game theory is the study of how we make a decision when the outcome of our moves depends on the decisions of someone else.  A new book "Introducing Game Theory: A Graphic Guide" by Pastine & Pastine provides a guide to game theory in every day life, politics, sociology, finance, economics, IT, religion, animal kingdom and more.

Economists Ivan and Tuvana Pastine explain why, when the outcomes of our actions depends on the decisions of someone else, we sometimes choose to cooperate, sometimes clash, and sometimes act in a way that seems completely random.

Stylishly brought to life by award-winning cartoonist Tom Humberstone, Introducing Game Theory will help readers understand behaviour in everything from our social lives to business, global politics to evolutionary biology.
