About the Book

From the world concert stage, to service in the U. S. Air Force, from journalism to mathematics, from studies in conflict and cooperation to peace research, Anatol Rapoport has been both pioneer and lead-figure. Author of approximately 500 publications, Rapoport has spearheaded many scientific innovations, including the application of mathematical methods, first to Biology and later to the Social Sciences. Rapoport operates from a multidimensional background of experience and studies - concert pianist, lecturer, mathematician, pilot, scientist, philosopher - embodying a deep humanistic commitment, and a profoundly systemic thinking. In this autobiography, he recounts his life and the people he met along the way.

About the Author :
Anatol Rapoport (1911-2007) was a Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Mathematics at the University of Toronto. He was the recipient of many awards, including the Lenz International Peace Research Prize and the Harold D. Lasswell Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions to Political Psychology; and honorary doctorates, of Human Letters (University of Western Michigan); of Laws (University of Toronto), of Science (Royal Military College); and of Sociology (University of Bern).

Review :
"Anatol Rapoport represents a uniquely many-sided personality. A promising concert pianist becomes a major mathematician and semanticist, a researcher of several fields, an author of a multitude of brilliant scientific works. And at the same time, he turns out to be a model of scientific ethics, always guided by deeply moral principles. This book is interesting not only because it contains the memoirs of one of the most important scientists of our time but also because it reveals the thoughts of a great humanist." -- from the foreword to the Russian edition, by A.V. Brushlinsky
