Summary:Reviews the book, Computer Science in Social and Behavioral Science Education edited by Daniel E. Bailey (1978). This book contains ideas and suggestions for using computers as instructional tools in social and behavioral science courses, and for making the subject matter of these courses more exciting and meaningful. The papers are arranged in seven sections: (1) the place of computer science in social and behavioral science, (2) statistics and methodology, (3) social impact, (4) computer-based enhancement in social and behavioral science education, (5) simulation and modeling, (6) bibliographies, and (7) the bottom line. Without attempting to summarize each paper, or even each part, some of the main points and some of the more stimulating ideas deserve mention in order to indicate the range and nature of the contents.
