520    "A Nobel laureate reveals the often surprising rules that 
       govern a vast array of activities -- both mundane and life
       -changing -- in which money may play little or no role. If
       you've ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to 
       college or guided your child into a good kindergarten, 
       asked someone out on a date or been asked out, you've 
       participated in a kind of market. Most of the study of 
       economics deals with commodity markets, where the price of
       a good connects sellers and buyers. But what about other 
       kinds of "goods," like a spot in the Yale freshman class 
       or a position at Google? This is the territory of matching
       markets, where "sellers" and "buyers" must choose each 
       other, and price isn't the only factor determining who 
       gets what. Alvin E. Roth is one of the world's leading 
       experts on matching markets. He has even designed several 
       of them, including the exchange that places medical 
       students in residencies and the system that increases the 
       number of kidney transplants by better matching donors to 
       patients. In Who Gets What -- And Why, Roth reveals the 
       matching markets hidden around us and shows how to 
       recognize a good match and make smarter, more confident 
       decisions"--|cProvided by publisher
