New transdisciplinary studies have been appearing not only in such established areas as biochemistry or social psychology, there are presently emerging inter-scientific fields such as sociobiology, econophysics and last but not least sociophysics. The latter is a renewed attempt to combine the latest natural and social science theories and come up with significant generalisations for both. Using the powerful physics metaphor as an inertial guidance system, sociophysics emphasises the underlying similarities between all systems. This new scientific hybrid is raising much controversy as well as revealing great promise, for this reason, it has been chosen to provide the core and focus for this book. The holistic scope of this book makes it an appropriate reference work in many courses, such as: Global Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Macroeconomics, Sociological Theory, Philosophy of Social Science, Theoretical Physics, Thermodynamics, Macro-history, Behavioural Science, General Systems Theory, and Interdisciplinary Studies.
