Book Synopsis
Nearly every major challenge the United States facesfrom alleviating unemployment to protecting itself from terrorismrequires understanding the causes and consequences of people's behavior. Even societal challenges that at first glance appear to be issues only of medicine or engineering or computer science have social and behavioral components. Having a fundamental understanding of how people and societies behave, why they respond the way they do, what they find important, what they believe or value, and what and how they think about others is critical for the country's well-being in today's shrinking global world. The diverse disciplines of the social, behavioral, and economic (SBE) sciences ?anthropology, archaeology, demography, economics, geography, linguistics, neuroscience, political science, psychology, sociology, and statistics?all produce fundamental knowledge, methods, and tools that provide a greater understanding of people and how they live. The Value of Social, Behaviora
