Reviews

[This is] an important book in the field.It is a pioneering work [that] strikes a good balance between addressing the theoretical underpinnings of simulations designed to teach decision-making and more practical information such as examples showing what they are and what they can do. -Ronald E. Anderson University of Minnesota
