- Summary:
-
This annotated bibliography represents the initial step taken by the authors to apply standards of excellence to the evaluation of literature in the fields of gaming, simulation, and model-building. It aims at helping persons interested in these subjects deal with the flood of literature on these topics by making value judgments, based on the professional competence of the reviewers, about individual works. Forty-eight books and articles are reviewed, covering the years 1898-1971, although most of the works were published in the past 15 years. The majority of these deal with one of the following topics: 1) general game theory; 2) instructional games and simulation; 3) board and table games, such as chess and dice games; 4) war games; 5) the interpersonal and psychological aspects of gaming; 6) gaming and the behavioral sciences; 7) crisis and conflict; and 8) the application of game theory to political and social policy-making. The reviews range in length from a few sentences to several pages, depending upon the individual article or book. (PB)
