Game Theory: A Nontechnical Introduction To The Analysis Of Strategy (3rd Edition)

The objective of the third edition of Game Theory: A Nontechnical Introduction to the Analysis of Strategy is to introduce the ideas of game theory in a way that is approachable, intuitive, and interdisciplinary. Relying on the Karplus Learning Cycle, the book is intended to teach by example. Noncooperative equilibrium concepts such as Nash equilibrium play the central role. In this third edition, increased stress is placed on the concept of rationalizable strategies, which has proven in teaching practice to assist students in making the bridge from intuitive to more formal concepts of noncooperative equilibrium.The Instructor Manual and PowerPoint Slides for the book are available upon request for all instructors who adopt this book as a course text.

All Is Not Well

Consider this, then, the antithesis of a Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce campaign, an attempt to set the record straight. No judgment, merely a forthright account of what might have been observed during an innocent bystander's own peculiar experience growing up there in the late fifties through the sixties, when it was abandoned for more enlightened climes, i.e., the city." Excerpted from All Is Not Well. All Is Not Well is the story of a town, a sheriff, and a precocious young girl as she matures into womanhood. The girl is a once in a generation athlete, able to beat most of the boys in any sport of their choosing, therefore shunned by the boys who are intimidated by her, and the girls because she is not interested in girly-girl things. She faces a life-altering event at nineteen, and the rest of the story tells how she reacts to this, with the town and the sheriff playing their part in it, and finally finds closure.
