  abstract =	 {Game-theoretic reasoning pervades economic theory
                  and is used widely in other social and behavioral
                  sciences. An Introduction to Game Theory, by Martin
                  J. Osborne, presents the main principles of game
                  theory and shows how they can be used to understand
                  economic, social, political, and biological
                  phenomena. The book introduces in an accessible
                  manner the main ideas behind the theory rather than
                  their mathematical expression. All concepts are
                  defined precisely, and logical reasoning is used
                  throughout. The book requires an understanding of
                  basic mathematics but assumes no specific knowledge
                  of economics, political science, or other social or
                  behavioral sciences. Coverage includes the
                  fundamental concepts of strategic games, extensive
                  games with perfect information, and coalitional
                  games; the more advanced subjects of Bayesian games
                  and extensive games with imperfect information; and
                  the topics of repeated games, bargaining theory,
                  evolutionary equilibrium, rationalizability, and
                  maxminimization. The book offers a wide variety of
                  illustrations from the social and behavioral
                  sciences and more than 280 exercises. Each topic
                  features examples that highlight theoretical points
                  and illustrations that demonstrate how the theory
                  may be used. Explaining the key concepts of game
                  theory as simply as possible while maintaining
                  complete precision, An Introduction to Game Theory
                  is ideal for undergraduate and introductory graduate
                  courses in game theory.},
