What is Sociophysics: A Physicist's Modeling of Psycho-political Phenomena (Understanding Complex Systems) about?
<p>Do humans behave much like atoms? Sociophysics, which uses tools and concepts from the physics of disordered matter to describe some aspects of social and political behavior, answers in the affirmative.

This thought-provoking book argues it is just the contrary.</p><p>Indee
