Summary: Search behavior explored and compared to the natural world
Comment: A quirky but very useful and well-written book about the information search process and its analogs in the world of natural selection and evolutionary adaptation. There are essays about submarine chasing and skip tracing by Brian O'Connor -- not the usual dry stuff of academic texts on human search behavior. At the same time, there is a strong (and well-cited) intellectual underpinning to everything here. The editors call their work "intellectual hopscotch" -- the same metaphor could apply to the human search behavior they describe. This is a worthwhile and compelling book.
