Like it or not, ranking is with us.  We like  ranking because it is simple 
and  objective, and dislike because it is  biased and subjective.
RANKING discusses the Hows and Whys of our love and fear of rankings and 
being ranked through  real life examples examined from three different 
angles (reality, illusion, and manipulation) of objectivity. Ranking 
converts scientific theories to everyday experiences by raising and 
answering questions  as: are college ranking lists objective? How to rank 
and rate countries based on their fragility, corruption or even happiness? 
How to find the most relevant web pages? How to rank employees? How to 
improve our digital reputation? We should find strategies how to navigate 
between objective and
subjective evaluations and gets help to identify and modify our place in 
real and virtual communities by combining our human intelligence with
computational techniques.
