Items related to Modeling the World in a Spreadsheet: Environmental...
Synopsis
Thanks to the spreadsheet, simulation modelling is now accessible to anyone with a microcomputer. In this book, the author aims to explain how to create models of different environmental phenomena. These range from natural processes such as the dispersion of water and air pollution, to social processes such as housing affordability. The book offers complete "recipes" for building and running the models in the most popular spreadsheet programs, such as: Lotus 1-2-3, SuperCalc, Excel and Quatro. A 3.5" diskette, containing Lotus or SuperCalc data files for all 14 models may be ordered, using a tear-out card accompanying the book (spreadsheet software is required).

Review
"Harness[es] the open programming environment of the electronic spreadsheet to provide sophisticated modeling capabilities to virtually any planner, and even to the citizen activist with a high school mathematics background. By bringing urban and environmental models closer to their real-world planning circumstances, this book will further the democratization of modeling in planning practice." -- Journal of Planning Education and Research
