Reviews

"""Bob Axelrod is among the most creative and influential social scientists of his generation. He has won virtually every major scholarly award in the various fields to which he has contributed and often helped to create. His autobiography gives us a unique inside-out view of how this remarkable mind works."" --Robert D. Putnam, Harvard Kennedy School, author of Bowling Alone--Robert D. Putnam ""I was a college student when I first encountered Robert Axelrod's pathbreaking research on cooperation. It captured my imagination more fully than anything I had seen before, and indeed, more fully than just about anything I have seen since! Robert Axelrod is one of my heroes, so, for me, this book was a blessing. I soaked up its stories and insights. Rarely do I get to the end of a book and wish it would keep going."" --Steven Levitt, University of Chicago, author of Freakonomics--Steven Levitt ""Professor Robert Axelrod's works are among the classic textbooks in the field of international politics in China. His achievements have played an important role in the development of China's international relations. For example, it has raised awareness among policymakers that not all rivalries need be zero-sum."" --Lu Chuanying, Shanghai Institutes for International Studies, author of China and Cybersecurity--Lu Chuanying ""When you read Bob Axelrod's autobiography, your first impression is that this is someone you would really like if you knew him, the second that he would be absolutely fascinating to talk to. Fifty years' acquaintance confirms that both are true. Readers will find here a remarkable, charming, and disarming book."" --Mark Granovetter, Stanford University, author of ""The Strength of Weak Ties""--Mark Granovetter"
