Simulation for the Social Scientist

Rating:
Summary: brilliant book! for professionals and also beginners!
Review: This book is about the uses of simulation in the social sciences, its various methods and implementations (with examples in lisp).I like it, because its easy understandable even for non-computer-scientists, and there are actual and scientific important research-examples at the end of every chapter. I presume that it is the only book which provides a global introduction to this field (especially with this social-science background knowledge). A sociologican who is interessted in research about complex social phenomena should read this book! After doing this, I hunger for a programming-course!
