The book, "Micromotives and Macrobehavior" by Thomas C. Schelling is a classic presentation of how the activities and behavior of the individual impact the larger entity; i.e., the community, the country or the world. Thomas C. Schelling is the 2005 Nobel Prize recipient for Economic Science. Schelling writes with the authority of the scholar and scientist that he is. However, he takes care in illustrating complicated statistical studies and formulas and in describing the history of the development of behavior modeling in terms that the everyday person can understand and indeed relate to. In this tome, Schelling underscores his teaching credentials offering quite an education in socio-economics. The author presents his information in a manner that educates the reader, beginning with relatively simple descriptions and analysis, readying him for more complex material as he graduates to more difficult presentations.
