Description: Models of Man: Rational and Social. Mathematical Essays on Rational Human Behavior in a Social Setting. Herbert A. Simon. Herbert A. Simon (1916 - 2001) was an American political scientist whose work also influenced the fields of computer science, economics, and cognitive psychology. His primary research interest was decision-making within organizations, and he is best known for the theories of "bounded rationality" and "satisficing." He received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1978 and the Turing Award in computer science in 1975. This book (surprisingly scarce) consists of 16 essays (most previously published) from his early career research, with some additional original comments about their interrelations. He states in the Preface, in these essays, "I have tried to set forth a consistent body of theory of the rational and nonrational aspects of human behavior in a social setting." A nice copy -- clean and tight, no writing (other than previous owner's name crossed out) or tears. Light tanning to the pages. No dj. Just a bit of edgewear to the green cloth boards. 1967 5th printing, Wiley.
