Bernard Zeigler's book, titled "Object-Oriented Simulation with Hierarchical, Modular Models" and subtitled "Intelligent Agents and Endomorphic Systems", will be most valuable to individuals interested in model development to support simulation within an object oriented environment. This book may be easily read by people not familiar with the simulation literature or Zeigler's previous work. Ideally one should have some familiarity with the basic notions of object oriented design or programming, but even that is not really necessary. This review will summarize the work presented in this book and then conclude with a short critique with regard to the authors stated objective, to make accessible to broad audience "... the concepts of reusable, multifacetted, multi-abstraction, model bases and endomorphic systems".
