I did a course on modelling complex systems for my honours studies; this was one of the recommended readings. I'm glad I bought it.
Most books about systems modelling refer to one of the commercial modelling programs. Or they are quite generic and hand-wavy. The nice thing about TTATJ is that the software (NetLogo) is downloadable[1]. The book is on the Kindle too, which is convenient.
