Surprisingly, though, most of us are unaware of how complex these systems are or of the fact that they have a unique character distinguishing them from both populations and individuals. The current manuscript, which emerged from high-level scientific publications on the subject, aims to bridge this gap in our understanding of small social systems. The book aims to explain, illustrate, and model the unique and fascinating nature of small (social) systems by relying on deep scientific foundations and by using examples from sport, movies, music, and the martial arts. To support its friendly exposition of challenging scientific ideas, the book also discusses entertaining questions such as (1) why inviting your mother-in-law to dinner might be a challenging event, for reasons you have never considered; (2) why soccer teams should be messy in order to win; (3) why Nazis are deeply wrong in their understanding of the importance of entropy; and (4) why “panda fighters” failed in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship).."How Small Systems Work is a welcome book, which sheds light on a branch | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Small Social Systems; Interdisciplinary science; Complex Social Systems; Predictions in sport; Family re | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-82238-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-82240-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-82238-5Series ISSN 1612-3018 Series E-ISSN 2197-6619 | | issn_series | 1612-3018 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
