That's because it's from 1993.

You can buy it on amazon from $0.01.

Also, if you are a student, you really need to visit a library. If your library doesn't have it, use inter-library loan. I got a ton of books this way, not only for research but also for pleasure. It may take a bit of extra time, but it's free!

Responding publicly to: "Any recommendations for stuff to read about agent based modeling?"

One of the best resources for agent based modeling is the modeling tool, NetLogo. It's developed by Northwestern:

https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/

It has TONS of sample models in quite a few different disciplines to see how things work.

Railsback and Grimm have a nice textbook style book on agent based modeling (http://www.amazon.com/Agent-Based-Individual-Based-Modeling-Practical-Introduction/dp/0691136742)

Mitchel and Resnick have a smaller book focused on the concepts of ABM called Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams. (http://www.amazon.com/Turtles-Termites-Traffic-Jams-Explorations/dp/0262680939)

Lastly Growing Artificial Societies by Epstien (http://www.amazon.com/Growing-Artificial-Societies-Science-Adaptive/dp/0262550253). He developed generative models of economics using an environment he called "Sugarscape".

Another popular modeling system is Repast (written by people at Argonne National Labs) but I think it's not as easy for the non-programmer to get started with. If you happen to be near University of Oregon, they are having a complexity conference later this month that features a day-long seminar on Repast taught by some guys from Argonne.

Hi there,

Can you please make a new request with the ISBN and correct the tag? This is a book, not an article - the ISBN-13: 978-0300194098 (as per https://www.amazon.ca/Arch-Conjuror-England-John-Dee/dp/0300194099).

Thanks.

A good book along similar topic lines I would suggest reading is, *When Affirmative Action was White"

The book is called Simulation with Arena. So how does this sub work?

https://www.amazon.com/Simulation-McGraw-Hill-Industrial-Engineering-Management/dp/0073259896/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1479662062&sr=1-1&keywords=simulation+with+arena+cd

I have found the book so this sub is not for the book exercises? only for the books... the adicional material should not be asked for?

I'm also having a difficult time finding any electronic versions of this, but if you really need it, you can always buy a used copy of this book for a few bucks.
