Reviews

This book is organized in a rigorous manner: each chapter includes an introductory abstract, a short chronology of the main achievements related to the chapter's topic, well-balanced formalized-intuitive knowledge content, a significant number of questions ... and finally a list of future readings. ... I think Claudio Cioffi-Revilla's work hits its assumed target: to be an affordable textbook for students and, at the same time, a useful support manual for instructors interested in learning or teaching computational social science. (Valentin V. Inceu, Computing Reviews, February, 2019)
