"The Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making"

It takes a lot for a book to wow me.  Especially considering that I've been studying critical thinking and cognitive bias since 2000.  Yet this book, published in 1993 (!) has wowed me: The Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making.It pulls together most of the research on cognitive bias into a slim volume.  Best of all, there is a test at the beginning of the book.  Take it, and then amaze yourself at your numerous wrong answers.  I thought for sure I'd ace the test.  Fortunately, I did not.It's pricey new.  I was able to borrow a copy from my library, through inter-library loan  for less than a latte.  Highly recommended.
