  abstract =	 {Robert Axelrod is widely known for his
                  groundbreaking work in game theory and complexity
                  theory. He is a leader in applying computer modeling
                  to social science problems. His book The Evolution
                  of Cooperation has been hailed as a seminal
                  contribution and has been translated into eight
                  languages since its initial publication. The
                  Complexity of Cooperation is a sequel to that
                  landmark book. It collects seven essays, originally
                  published in a broad range of journals, and adds an
                  extensive new introduction to the collection, along
                  with new prefaces to each essay and a useful new
                  appendix of additional resources. Written in
                  Axelrod's acclaimed, accessible style, this
                  collection serves as an introductory text on
                  complexity theory and computer modeling in the
                  social sciences and as an overview of the current
                  state of the art in the field. The articles move
                  beyond the basic paradigm of the Prisoner's Dilemma
                  to study a rich set of issues, including how to cope
                  with errors in perception or implementation, how
                  norms emerge, and how new political actors and
                  regions of shared culture can develop. They use the
                  shared methodology of agent-based modeling, a
                  powerful technique that specifies the rules of
                  interaction between individuals and uses computer
                  simulation to discover emergent properties of the
                  social system. The Complexity of Cooperation is
                  essential reading for all social scientists who are
                  interested in issues of cooperation and complexity.},
