Games are everywhere: Drivers maneuvering in heavy traffic are playing a driving game. Bargain hunters bidding on eBay are playing an auctioning game. The supermarket's price for corn flakes is decided by playing an economic game. This Very Short Introduction offers a succinct tour of the fascinating world of game theory, a ground-breaking field that analyzes how to play games in a rational way. Ken Binmore, a renowned game theorist, explains the theory in a way that is both entertaining and non-mathematical yet also deeply insightful, revealing how game theory can shed light on everything from social gatherings, to ethical decision-making, to successful card-playing strategies, to calculating the sex ratio among bees. With mini-biographies of many fascinating, and occasionally eccentric, founders of the subject--including John Nash, subject of the movie A Beautiful Mind--this book offers a concise overview of a cutting-edge field that has seen spectacular successes in evolutionary biology and economics, and is beginning to revolutionize other disciplines from psychology to political science. About the Series: Oxford's Very Short Introductions offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, and Literary Theory to History. Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume provides trenchant and provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a given topic. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how it has developed and influenced society. Whatever the area of study, whatever the topic that fascinates the reader, the series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.Binding Type: Paperback

worked great for national park where traditional sunscreen is not allowed
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
In a national park preserve where some traditional sunscreens are not allowed, this one is allowed as it is "reef safe" without anything other than zinc/titanium dioxide as the active ingredients. Worked fine, rubs in well and doesn't make you look white as a ghost.

Excellent results!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was in Thailand for almost 1 month and used this during the hot summer season and I never burned! It does go on very white but that’s a small concession knowing it is not a toxic sunscreen!

Lasts a long time
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunblock lasts a long time and you don’t need to reapply often. The one drawback is it takes a long time to rub in and sometimes stays white on your skin longer than you may want. But it’s amazing sunblock protection and all I use.
