Цена альтруизма: Джордж Прайс и поиск истоков доброты. Издательство
W. W. Norton, New York, London, 2010. На английском языке. 331 стр.
и 22 фотографии.
Книга о жизни и об исследованиях Джорджа Прайса, о его теории альтруизма и роли альтруизма в эволюции. Джордж Прайс продолжил исследования Дарвина: кто выживает, самый сильный или самый добрый? В рецензиях сказано, что книга заслуживает такой же популярности, как книга A Beautiful Mind (by Sylvia Nasar), биография математика Нэша, лауреата Нобелевской премии.
George Robert Price (October 6, 1922 – January 6, 1975) was an American population geneticist. Originally a physical chemist and later a science joualist, he moved to London in 1967, where he worked in theoretical biology at the Galton Laboratory, making three important contributions: first, rederiving W.D. Hamilton's work on kin selection with a new Price equation; second, introducing (with John Maynard Smith) the concept of the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS), a central concept in game theory; and third, formalising Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection. After giving all his possessions to the poor, he committed suicide.
