Critics Review
Praise for the first edition
“Biologists … have been relatively slow to take advantage of enhanced computing power and unlock the potential of these techniques. This book removes any excuse.”—Frontiers of Biogeography
“This volume would be an excellent text for an introductory course in modeling as science, or for self-study by a mature researcher interested in learning about this important new way of doing science.”—H. Van Dyke Parunak, JASSS
“This book represents something I have been [awaiting] for some years now: a good and solid introduction to the field of individual- and agent-based models… . The book is not only a practical guide but also serves as a good introduction to the basics of ‘healthy’ programming. These authors are the right ones to do this as they have a strong background in the philosophical aspects as well as the practical issues of modelling.”—Basic and Applied Ecology
“Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling has the potential to foster an appreciation of the value and place of individual-based models in our field in the next generation of emerging ecologists.”—Christopher X. Jon Jensen, Ecology
