SYSTEM ZOO PUBLICATIONS

by Hartmut Bossel http://www.hartmutbossel.de

All English language books and CDs are available in internet and local bookstores (outside German
language regions).

For free internet source of English language versions of System Zoo simulation models for Vensim®
simulation software see System Zoo 2 and System Zoo 3 books.
