The World the Game Theorists Made
Today, game theory is central to our understanding of capitalist markets, the evolution of social behavior in animals, and much more.

Because it so actively persists in the sciences and public life, assessing the significance of game theory for the postwar sciences is especially critical now."

Milton Acorn
A biography of one of Canada's leading poets. Traces Acorn's roots in Prince Edward Island and shows that family, landscape, and the troubled shades of postcolonial society were continuous spurs to his creative life. Connects his self-perpetuated image as a working-class rebel, and his peculiar brand of communism, to his employment history and experience of war. His troubled relationships with family and friends, and his ill health, are explored as sources both of pain and inspiration. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
