Game Theory: A Nontechnical Introduction to the Analysis of Strategy
This book is written for scientists and engineers who use HHT (Hilbert-Huang Transform) to analyze data from nonlinear and non-stationary processes. It can be treated as a HHT user manual and a source of reference for HHT applications. The book contains the basic principle and method of HHT and various application examples, ranging from the correction of satellite orbit drifting to detection of failure of highway bridges.
The thirteen chapters of the first edition are based on the presentations made at a mini-symposium at the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2003. Some outstanding mathematical research problems regarding HHT development are discussed in the first three chapters. The three new chapters of the second edition reflect the latest HHT development, including ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and modified EMD.
The book also provides a platform for researchers to develop the HHT method further and to identify more applications.

I have read a couple of nontechnical introductions to game theory and this book is a solid entry. It covers all the basics and also introduces some less common topics (Part V, Advanced Topics). I do feel that the author, perhaps in an effort to keep it nontechnical, provides a number (e.g.: for expected value of a particular example) without giving any information about how that value was derived or without referring to an earlier part of the text where such calculations were shown initially. This can be annoying for a reader that is beginning to study game theory and may want to explore some of the technical details without getting in over their heads.

One of the best text on Game Theory. I think it is more of a reference book and its format is great for a dictionary of terms. The book is large and if it were smaller, it would be a great pocket field guide for game theory.

The author does a good job of explaining some fundamental game theory principles and expanding on concepts via examples spanning: Business, War, Marketing, and Sports. A quick read (<225 pages) considering it introduces you to a different way to analyse almost any situation.

A wonderful read for those wanting to learn game theory and strategical analysis without extensive mathematical and economical backgrounds. The author covers complicated topics in a rudimentary style, requiring at most, algebra knowledge.
