Research on Judgment and Decision Making : Currents, Connections, and Controversies (Cambridge Series on Judgment and Decision Making)

Summary: A very good overview of the psychology of decision making
Review: The book provides articles by the leading authors in the filed of the psychology of decison making. It provides a good overview of the field and groups together various directions in the field. However the "grouping" are not strong categories and do not hold together very well. Nothless it is a brave attempt to connect various trains of thought.

I tried to use the book as a text book in a class on the psychology of decison making and found that it was not very user friendly. I did use select reading from it which were very successful.

All in all, anyone involved in the field of the psychology of decison making MUST own this book.

Other readers outside of the field should make sure the book covers the topics in which they are intrested.
