Bratislava City Guide. Lucy Mallows. Paperback: 248 pages. Publisher: Bradt Travel Guides, 2009.
"Bratislava doesn't bellow its beauty, but states its case quietly and insistently, until you wake one morning and realise you're in love," Lucy Mallows starts her guidebook for travellers to the capital of Slovakia.
"Small but perfectly formed and easily negotiated, Bratislava is the ideal weekend-break destination," Mallows writes about the city, which she says she has been visiting for 25 years. Thanks to her rich experience with the Little Big City on the Danube, she gives a comprehensive overview of the city's history, politics and people as well as useful tips for accommodation, eating out, night life and shopping. Suggestions for walking tours illustrated with maps are a part of the guide too, as well as a couple of tips for trips beyond the city.
Game Theory: A Very Short Introduction. Ken Binmore. Paperback: 186 pages. Publisher: Oxford University Press, 2007.
Games are played whenever people interact, whenever there are strategies to adopt and outcomes or prizes to win. And that means games are played everywhere. Game theory is the study of such games, what happens when they are played rationally and how we can predict their outcomes, the introductory cover notes read. This book shows how game theory can be understood without mathematical equations, and how, from one simple premise, there springs a remarkably rich theory that has already had a profound effect on the sciences.
Snakes in Suits: When psychopaths go to work. Paul Babiak and Robert D. Hare. Paperback: 336 pages. Publisher: Harper Collins Publisher, 2007.
