Evolutionary Game Theory

The following recent textbook on evolutionary game theory seems to be must-read for those who are interested in this field:




Description on its cover says:
Evolutionary game theory studies the behavior of large populations of strategically interacting agents, and is used by economists to make predictions in settings where traditional assumptions about agents' rationality and knowledge may not be justified. Population Games and Evolutionary Dynamics offers a systematic, rigorous, and unified presentation of evolutionary game theory, covering the core developments of the theory from its inception in biology in the 1970s through recent advances.
As a recommending remark, Daniel Friedman, Professor of Economics at University of California, Santa Cruz, says:
"(this text) is designed to become the standard reference and textbook in its filed for many years."
My amazon booklist on "evolution and learning in game theory" (link in Japanese) might also be helpful.
