Covering the social fields of criminal justice, medicine, education, this book has the potential to compelling a wider audience on especially if they are not been exposed systematically to the research areas of biases and heuristics. Really rather compelling literature on biases and heuristics composed over the 70's to 90's. The principles still apply today, however, research of this type has dwindled over recent decades. I wonder why... perhaps it has to do with people seeing that there are deeper concerns raised by our demonstrable biases and heuristics. Ala (1 Corinthians 2:10-12).

I'll continue to research into this for research purposes only.
