Harrington, Joseph E.

Games, strategies, and decision making Joseph E. Harrington - 2nd ed. - New York : Worth Publishers, c2015. - xxiv, 638 p. [various pagings] : ill. ; 27 cm.

This book on game theory introduces and develops the key concepts with a minimum of mathematics. Students are presented with empirical evidence, anecdotes and strategic situations to help them apply theory and gain a genuine insight into human behaviour. The book provides a diverse collection of examples and scenarios from history, literature, sports, crime, theology, war, biology, and everyday life. These examples come with rich context that adds real-world meat to the skeleton of theory. Each chapter begins with a specific strategic situation and is followed with a systematic treatment that gradually builds understanding of the concept.
