Beschreibung
This book highlights mathematical ideas to help explain a number of important aspects of the dynamics of social groups. These ideas are similar to those used to describe the behaviour of Lagrangian mechanical systems, and as such this book appeals to anyone wanting to gain an understanding of the intrinsic unity of natural phenomena.

“A kaleidoscope of observations and ideas: it runs the gamut from the German king and Roman emperor Friedrich II von Hohenstaufen- stupor mundi, and close to the hearts and minds of the people of southern Italy … . The text is written in a forceful though unusual style- not always traditionally English- and it is a pleasure to read; hard to put down.” (Ingo Mueller, Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena, Vol. 15, 2020)
