Mark Broom is a professor of mathematics at City, University of London. For over 30 years, he has carried out mathematical research in game theory applied to biology. His major research themes include multi-player games, patterns of evolutionarily stable strategies, models of parasitic behavior (especially kleptoparasitism), the evolution of defence and signalling, and evolutionary processes in structured populations. He earned his PhD in mathematics from the University of Sheffield. Jan Rychtář□is a professor of mathematics at Virginia Commonwealth University. Prior to joining VCU, he was a Professor at UNC Greensboro. He works on game theoretical models and mathematical models of kleptoparasitism. His recent research interests include mathematical biology and game theory. He earned his PhD in mathematics from the University of Alberta.

"It is hard to imagine that the book by Broom & Rychtar is already a decade old, it stills feels fresh! However, in a second edition, the authors have now successfully addressed several novel topics that have developed rapidly in these past 10 years, such as the evolution of cancer or vaccination games. On top of the excellent structure of the original edition of this book, including great exercises, the authors have now included python code and pointers to relevant packages. This is an excellent way to make a new generation of game theorists familiar with the field and at the same time allow them a much more interactive experience! The new edition of this wonderful book proves that evolutionary game theory is alive and kicking!"– Arne Traulsen, Director, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, Germany"The second edition of Game-Theoretical Models in Biology shows the tremendous development and applications that this theory has undergone since its inception fifty years ago. That fact that this theory is still undergoing development and finding new applications is evidenced by the fact that the authors have included completely new chapters reflecting, for example, recent applications in the study of cancer evolution or evolution on graphs in the second edition. The book is suitable both for students of mathematical disciplines, to whom it will show the strong application of mathematics in biology, and for students of biological disciplines, who want to gain a solid theoretical basis for the description of eco-evolutionary laws. It is the most comprehensive treatise on the applications of evolutionary game theory in evolutionary and population biology. "– Vlastimil Křivan, University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic"If you want a solid foundation in the topic of game theory in biology, then work your way through this book. It is an authoritative account of the basics, introduces many important biological applications, and has a plethora of insights. Really excellent."– John McNamara, Emeritus Professor at University of Bristol, United Kingdom"In this update of their 2013 book, Broom and Rychtar continue to provide a valuable resource to any researcher interested in evolutionary games. Readers of the original book will especially appreciate the new chapters/sections on recent developments and applications in the field as well as the expanded bibliography. The book will also serve as an excellent self-contained text, with an extensive set of exercises in each chapter, for students at a graduate or senior undergraduate level studying game-theoretic applications to biology"– Ross Cressman, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
