Review\n\n\n?Smart Swarm blends zoology, entertaining anecdotes and conceptual discussion in an approachable and insightful way.? ? New Scientist\n\n?There have been other recent books about swarm intelligence, and the wisdom of crowds, but Miller's book is the sharpest, most readably intelligent guided tour of current thinking and research about collective intelligence and nature's basic collaborations.? ? Iain Finlayson, The Times\n\n?Peter Miller gives us a lively account of how studying the collective habits, actions and instincts of animals in the wild means that we can apply these strategies to organising and communicating in our own world. ? The Times, Eureka\n\n?I loved The Smart Swarm. It's been a while since I was this stimulated by a book, or saw so many practical applications. And what a great read' ? Don Tapscott, author of Wikinomics\n\nThere have been other recent books about swarm intelligence, and the wisdom of crowds, but Miller's exploration of the insect hive mind is fascinating enough, but his real interest is in the way humans can harness this phenomenon to structure businesses.? ? BBC Focus\n\n?It all makes for a fascinating read, not least for the insight Miller provides into the arcane workings of the animal kingdom. The book also raises interesting questions about our own behaviour and what it takes for us to work for a common goal.? ? BA Business Life\n\néOn a grand scale, Stephen Hawking is changing the paradigm into a post-religious world. On a smaller scale, but with equally fascinating insight, Peter Miller has alighted upon some revelatory animal behaviour that could also shift our thinking into brave new areas ? [a] readable and absorbing study.? ? 4/5 star review in WHARF\n\n?Miller informs, engages, entertains, and even surprises in this thought-provoking study of problem making and problem solving, and through the comparison of human and insect scenarios, shows how social cues and signals can either bring about social cooperation or destruction' ? Publishers Weekly\n\nWith an eye for detail and an easy style, Peter Miller explains why swarm intelligence has scientists buzzing' ? Steven Strogatz, author of Sync, and Professor of Mathematics, Cornell University\n\n'Most people can't fathom that ants, bees, and other social insects have found solutions to some of modern society's most vexing problems. In The Smart Swarm, Peter Miller offers a fascinating and articulate tour of what these creatures can do, how they do it, and the lessons for humans. This book is a gem, with a message that is as extraordinarily counter intuitive as it is valuable' ? Michael J. Mauboussin, Chief Investment Strategist at Legg Mason Capital Management and author of Think Twice: Harnessing the Power of Counterintuition\n\n'[Peter Miller] has proven that there is intelligent life on earth, but it is not necessarily us. What a delightful, eye-opening book' ? Martin Cruz Smith, author of Gorky Park and Stalin?s Ghost Product Description\n\n\nHow Understanding Flocks, Schools and Colonies Can Make Us Better at Communicating, Decision Making and Getting Things Done.\n\nThe modern world may be obsessed with speed and productivity, but twenty-first century humans actually have much to learn from the ancient instincts of swarms. A fascinating new take on the concept of collective intelligence and its colourful manifestations in some of our most complex problems, Smart Swarm introduces a compelling new understanding of the real experts on solving our own complex problems relating to such topics as business, politics, and technology.\n\nBased on extensive globe-trotting research, this lively tour from National Geographic reporter Peter Miller introduces thriving throngs of ant colonies, which have inspired computer programs for streamlining factory processes, telephone networks, and truck routes; termites, used in recent studies for climate-control solutions; schools of fish,.
