Purchase options and add-ons

This innovative textbook makes the tools and applications of game theory and strategic reasoning both fascinating and easy to understand. Each chapter focuses a specific strategic situation as a way of introducing core concepts informally at first, then more fully, with a minimum of mathematics. At the heart of the book is a diverse collection of strategic scenarios, not only from business and politics, but from history, fiction, sports, and everyday life as well. With this approach, students don't just learn clever answers to puzzles, but instead acquire genuine insights into human behaviour.

Written for major courses in economics, business, political science, and international relations, this textbook is accessible to students across the undergraduate spectrum.

1.0 out of 5 stars Completely void of any substance

Notes on review: My instructor was inept. The author admits at one point in chapter 12 that he assumes you have a competent instructor (I didn't). I've read every single chapter thrice.

This book has some of the best exercises if I've ever seen in an economics textbook. It's just too bad that the chapters are insufficient for learning how to solve them. There wasn't a single chapter where I was able to read it and then proceed to solve the exercises. Likewise, the author is good at explanation concepts, but refuses for some reason to teach you how to use them. The chapter without exception never tells you the solution steps. As mentioned, the author implicitly assumes that your instructor will fill in the gaps (mine didn't). Because of that typically I spent 20-30 hours on every single topic, trying to guess the solution steps. Dr. Munoz-Garcia's slides are the only thing that saved me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I wanted.

Exactly the edition and condition advertised. Arrived on time. No complaints.

The book itself is a very wordy and therefore is not a great reference text. If you have a choice, I recommend looking at different Game Theory textbooks. That being said, the practice problems are very good if you are willing to put up with long, wordy questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction
Reviewed in the United States on 25 November 2011

This book is very well written and accessible to any reader, unlike some other textbooks in the same vein. The only downside is the low level of mathematical rigor that is needed for serious study. Nonetheless, it is a great introduction to the topic. Highly recommended for any beginning student in Game Theory.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good writing with difficult practice questions
Reviewed in the United States on 18 February 2011

The book is great, casual jokes meant for college students however if you are in a rush to study it can seem wordy. The practice questions can be difficult and it feels like he never went over the concepts that you are expected to know when you get to the questions.

Who I purchased it from was quick and friendly.
