Dynamic Modeling
Dynamic modeling refers to the use of computer programs to simulate the behavior of complex, changing systems. Such systems range from weather forecasting to the environmental impact of a pesticide to the economics of fish harvests. Hannon and Ruth have combined the computing power of the modern personal computer and the ease of use of the simulation software STELLA, and written an introduction to modeling that will be welcomed by students in disciplines ranging from biology to chemistry to engineering to economics. The "democratization" of modeling is intended to introduce simulation as an integral part of education which will prepare students to incorporate it routinely into their own areas of specialization.

The progressive approach of this book is very entertaining, but it's not for a very beginner. This book uses STELLA instead of Powersim but the codes are easily implemented for Powersim as well. I personally think that this book really did a great job in building a comprehension about overall possibilities of dynamic modeling. It includes various examples in different fields as well. However, more advanced models could be added for additional complexity.
