Limits of models

4 izar

Not the first book I would recommend on creating model systems of real world phenomena, but fairly interesting on what models can do and what they can't tell us about our world. The books contain examples and descriptions about climate modelling and Covid19 spread but does not go into any greater detail regarding the models them selves, but more describe the shortcoming of models in how they are used. As such it brings useful insight that model creators and stakeholders should familiarise themselves with.
