There are updates throughout the book as well. These take into account important advances in cognitive psychology and the science of design while confirming and extending the book's basic thesis: that a physical symbol system has the necessary and sufficient means for intelligent action. The chapter "Economic Reality" has also been revised to reflect a change in emphasis in Simon's thinking about the respective roles of organizations and markets in economic systems.]]> 89879 4.06 62 10 1969 155253 0684835827 9780684835822 2 <![CDATA[Administrative Behavior, 4th Edition]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172259970m/155253.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172259970s/155253.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/155253.Administrative_Behavior_4th_Edition 3.50 10 Named by Public Administration Review as "Book of the Half Century," Administrative Behavior is considered one of the most influential books on social science thinking, and was referred to by the Nobel Committee as "epoch-making."

A brilliant polymath in an age of increasing specialization, Simon is one of those rare scholars whose work defines fields of inquiry. Crossing disciplinary lines in half a dozen fields, Simon's story encompasses an explosion in the information sciences, the transformation of psychology by the information-processing paradigm, and the use of computer simulation for modeling the behavior of highly complex systems.

Simon's theory of bounded rationality led to a Nobel Prize in economics, and his work on building machines that think -- based on the notion that human intelligence is the rule-governed manipulation of symbols -- laid conceptual foundations for the new cognitive science. Subsequently, contrasting metaphors of the maze (Simon's view) and of the mind (neural nets) have dominated the artificial intelligence debate.

There is also a warm account of his successful marriage and of an unconsummated love affair, letters to his children, columns, a short story, and political and personal intrigue in academe.]]> 89879 4.06 62 10 1991 2167960 0300045433 9780300045437 0 <![CDATA[Models of Thought, Volume 2]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2167960.Models_of_Thought_Volume_2 5.00 1 89879 4.06 62 10 1989 1486614 3211826297 9783211826294 0 <![CDATA[Die Wissenschaften vom Künstlichen: 003 (Computerkultur, Bd 3)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184109957m/1486614.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184109957s/1486614.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1486614.Die_Wissenschaften_vom_K_nstlichen_003 5.00 1 89879 4.06 62 10 1994 2266043 0824082176 9780824082178 1 <![CDATA[Models of Man (Continuity in Administrative Science.
