Game Theory in Action: An Introduction to Classical and Evolutionary Models

"Though not an advanced treatment mathematically speaking, readers become sophisticated consumers of game theories."—Choice

"A welcome addition to the existing collection of introductory game theory texts. . . . A very satisfying book."—Jennifer M. Wilson, MathSciNet

"[A] wonderful introduction to game theory. . . . I found almost all the games and examples fun to read and fun to work through the decisions and matrices. Whether the games were about politics, wine merchants and connoisseurs, or simply how to view sex ratios in society, you will find something of interest in this book."—David S. Mazel, MAA Reviews

"The book is one of the best books written in game theory."—Ahmed Hegazi, Zentralblatt MATH

"Cowritten by a mathematician and an economist, this book provides a fascinating journey into game theory. Substantial parts are devoted to evolutionary game theory, which is a real treat. The approach to the subject is so original, and the tone is so down-to-earth, that I felt like becoming a student and learning everything all over again."—Natalia Komarova, University of California, Irvine

"I like this introductory game theory book. Its clear and challenging material is presented in a manner accessible to a broad spectrum of students. The book's intuitive explanations draw students into understanding the idea of game theory before introducing technical aspects and the problem sets help to develop the confidence and ability necessary to master game theory tools."—Katri K. Sieberg, University of Tampere, Finland
