Lower corners of covers slightly bumped, else Very Good+, in very good+ dust jacket. Herbert A. Simon: Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, 1978, 'for his pioneering research into the decision-making process within economic organizations.' 'The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to Herbert Simon in 1978. At Carnegie-Mellon University he holds the title of Professor of Computer Science and Psychology. These two facts together delineate the range and uniqueness of his contributions in creating meaningful interactions among fields that developed in isolation but that are all concerned with human decision-making and problem-solving processes. In particular, Simon has brought the insights of decision theory, organization theory (especially as it applies to the business firm), behavior modeling, cognitive psychology, and the study of artificial intelligence to bear on economic questions. This has led not only to new conceptual dimensions for theoretical constructions, but also to a new humanizing realism in economics, a way of taking into account and dealing with human behavior and interactions that lie at the root of all economic activity. The sixty papers and essays contained in these two volumes are grouped under eight sections, each with a brief introductory essay. These are: Some Questions of Public Policy, Dynamic Programming Under Uncertainty; Technological Change; The Structure of Economic Systems; The Business Firm as an Organization; The Economics of Information Processing; Economics and Psychology; and Substantive and Procedural Reality. Most of Simon's papers on classical and neoclassical economic theory are contained in volume one. The second volume collects his papers on behavioral theory, with some overlap between the two volumes' (MIT Press Web site). Vol. 1: Economic Analysis and Public Policy (1982) is the only one of the three volumes that remains in print, in paperback only at US$54.00. Vol. 3: Empirically Grounded Economic Reason, was published by MIT in 1997.

INSCRIBED BY LASZLO TISZA TO BENOIT MANDELBROT: "To Benoit / with pleasant recollection of our/ interaction some twenty odd years/ ago, and thanks for his gracious and grateful contribution to/ this volume/ Laszlo." Mandelbrot's contribution to this festschrift is the first one in the volume: "A Fractal Attractor, and Why It May Matter" (pp. 3-6). "Except in cases of extraordinary longevity, friendship with an older colleague is generally brief. Thus, it was a rare privilege that my friendship with the physicist László Tisza (1907-2009) lasted far longer than usual. He obliged by being born on 7/7/07 and the next 7/7/07 provided me with my only chance so far to talk to someone in the process of turning a hundred years old. The man was short, slight, retiring, and soft-spoken. Upon meeting him, I was told that he had been a well-known and productive researcher--in fact, had come close to fame by almost explaining a curious phenomenon called superfluidity of very low-temperature helium. However--as was added immediately--serious mistakes in that work had to be corrected by his onetime adviser, a star physicist named Lev Landau (1908-68). In truth, Tisza had made no mistake and deserved the credit he did not receive. Tisza was victimized by Landau, but lived long enough for this to be recognized. Instead of clamoring for full credit, he nominated Landau for a prize for this work. Tisza and I interacted intensely for a few years after a symposium on information theory held at MIT in the summer of 1956. The paper I presented there described an axiomatic for statistical thermodynamics that developed from the second half of my Ph.D. thesis. Asked to comment on my advance text, Tisza praised it handsomely and described himself, on this occasion, as being my student! Given the age difference, his words were a rarity--balm on my heart. Tisza was a hugely helpful professor. I was delighted to trigger an early celebration of his centennial. A large room was filled, a few people came from far away, and the mood was warm and altogether cheerful. His life had produced little needless sound and fury addressed to outsiders, and much reflection for his friends and his own pleasure. It extended late and added at least one solid brick to the permanent edifice of physics. Many mysteries remain open, but long live diversity. I was very moved" (The Fractalist, pp. 164-65; there is a section in The Fractalist entitled "Noam Chomsky and László Tisza.". Signed by Author(s).
