A groundbreaking resource, it includes a wealth of new tools and terms and a corresponding style guide to help understand them. The author -- a globally recognized industry guru -- covers topics such as virtual experiences, games, simulations, educational simulations, social impact games, practiceware, game-based learning/digital game based learning, immersive learning, and serious games. This book is the first of its kind to present definitions of more than 600 simulation and game terms, concepts, and constructs.

I was looking for an instructional model to make
my educational simulation program and this book helped me alot.
I would give that book 5 stars but it wasn't as good as his previous two books 'learning by doing' and 'Simulation and the future of education'.
but it still good for those who need it.
