Economist Robinson and computer scientist Goforth (both Laurentian U., Canada) propose a systematic approach to the game type for researchers and teachers in game theory and microeconomics. The core of their effort is the Periodic Table, which lays out relationships among all 144 2X2 strict ordinal games according to the structure of the players' preferences. Among their topics are strategic form, symmetric games, a family for the Prisoner's Dilemma, and connecting the layers. They warn matho-philes that they are really talking about the games, not the topology. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
