Sendhil Mullainathan, the `most interesting young economist in the world`, & Eldar Shafir, the `most brilliant psychologist` of his generation, explain the hidden problem behind everything with Scarcity. Why can we never seem to keep on top of our workload, social diary or chores? Why does poverty persist around the world? Why do successful people do things at the last minute in a sudden rush of energy? Here, economist Sendhil Mullainathan & psychologist Eldar Shafir reveal that the hidden side behind all these problems is that they`re all about scarcity. Using the new science of scarcity, they explain why obesity is rampant; why people find it difficult to sleep when most sleep deprived; & why the lonely find it so hard to make friends. Scarcity will change the way you think about both the little everyday tasks & the big issues of global urgency. ” Stars in their respective disciplines, & the combination is greater than the sum of its parts.

(Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics). ” An ultimately humane & very welcome book”. (Oliver Burkeman, Guardian). Sendhil Mullainathan is a Professor of Economics at Harvard, & a recipient of a Mac Arthur Foundation ”genius grant”. He conducts research on development economics, behavioural economics, & corporate finance. He is Executive Director of Ideas 42, Institute of Quantitative Social Science, Harvard University.

AN INDEPENDENT BOOK OF THE YEAR An extraordinary book by a man with a unique & inspiring perspective, SCARP will change the way you view the places & spaces around you, & reveal a forgotten London you never knew existed. Nick Papadimitriou has spent a lifetime living on the margins, walking & documenting the landscapes surrounding his home in Child`s Hill, North London, in a study he calls Deep Topography. Part meditation on nature & walking, part memoir & part social history, his arresting debut is first & foremost a personal inquiry into the spirit of a place: a 14-mile broken ridge of land on the fringes of Northern London known as Scarp. Conspicuous but largely forgotten, a vast yet largely invisible presence hovering just beyond the metropolis, Scarp is a vast storehouse of regional memory. We join the author as he explores & reimagines this brooding, pregnant landscape, meticulously observing his surroundings, finding surprising connections & revealing lost slices of the past. SCARP captures the satisfying experience of a long, reflective walk. Whether talking about the beauty of a bird or a telegraph pole, deaths at a roundabout or his own troubled past, Papadimitriou celebrates the poetry in the everyday. His captivating prose reveals that the world around us is alive & intrinsically valuable in ways that the trappings of day-to-day life lead us to forget, & allows us to re-connect with something more authentic, more immediate, more profound. ...
