Dear Edmund,
I am sure that your request is not for personal use, whenever the first book
I read on the subject is Epstein and Axtell "Growing Artificial Societies"
and it is really a good book, well written, simple enough for a beginner to
imagine what could be done in ABM even if the described models are not
confronted to real data and could be seen as toy-models...
