Which book gives a good introduction to game theory?

I would like to learn the basic principles behind game theory. I don't have a background in mathematics or finance.
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I like the book "The Art of Strategy" by Dixit and Nalebuff--it's a major revision of their classic book "Thinking Strategically."

I also like "A Beautiful Math" which you can read online:

For other free online articles, check out:

Encyclopedic entry:
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/game-theory/

Overall game theory website:
http://www.gametheory.net/

Lots of good definitions and experiment ideas:
http://econport.gsu.edu/content/handbook/gametheory.html

And if I could do a little bit of self-promotion, my website has lots of non-technical game theory articles:
http://mindyourdecisions.com/blog/category/game-theory/

You could get started with one of the following reader favorites:

I really like the Game Design Reader for a good grasp of game theory.
