The Social Metabolism
Over this last decade, the concept of Social Metabolism has gained prestige as a theoretical instrument for the required analysis, to such an extent that there are now dozens of researchers, hundreds of articles and several books that have adopted and use this concept.

Experimental and Behavorial Economics
Experimental and behavioral economics represent two of the fastest growing fields in economics. Twenty years ago, there were virtually no economists in these areas.

The research presented here illustrates aptly the wide reach of these fields. Studies of key issues in politics, business, negotiations, psychology, networks and auctions are all covered in this volume. Book jacket.
