Reviews
There is a much to recommend in this book. It is a superior collection of theory and applications. The coverage of the theory of evolutionary games is broad-based. In addition, the chapters on applications span well-known and emerging areas of research. It is a valuable contribution for anyone interested in evolutionary game theory. -- Daniel G. Arce, Ashbel Smith Professor of Economics, University of Texas at Dallas Evolutionary game theory offers a wealth of techniques for studying dynamics and stability in the social sciences, biology, and engineering. Through their clear and insightful exposition of a generous range of applications, Friedman and Sinervo have provided an invaluable road map for anyone looking to apply the theory on their own. -- Bill Sandholm, Professor of Economics, University of Wisconsin
Evolutionary Games is an excellent resource for self-study on applications of evolutionary game theory. The underlying mathematics is thoroughly and clearly presented, and the coding resources to help the reader further understand the material are helpful. Exercises and detailed appendices for most chapters round out this well-written and engaging text. Megan Sawyer, MAA Reviews

He is founder and director of LEEPS lab which conducts human subject experiments in market and strategic interaction, supported by 14 National Science Foundation grants along with grants from IBM, HP labs, Google, and Environmental Defense. Barry Sinervo, Full Professor, University of California, Santa Cruz, is an evolutionary biologist who conducts research on Behavioral Ecology, Game Theory and the Biotic Impacts of Climate Change. He has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications. In addition to his research in game theory, he is currently researching contemporary extinctions of reptiles and amphibians and changes in plant communities driven by climate change, at sites distributed on five continents, leading a multinational research team of scientists developing physiological models of the biotic impacts of climate change on diverse biological systems, and measuring the biotic impacts of climate from equatorial sites to polar regions. He is also Director of the UC-wide Institute for the Study of the Ecological and Evolutionary Climate Impacts, a research consortium funded by a UC Presidential Research Catalyst Award.
