  We humans are messy, illogical creatures who like to imagine we’re in control—but we blithely let our biases lead us astray. In Design for Cognitive Bias, David Dylan Thomas lays bare the irrational forces that shape our everyday decisions and, inevitably, inform the experiences we craft. Once we grasp the logic powering these forces, we stand a fighting chance of confronting them, tempering them, and even harnessing them for good. Come along on a whirlwind tour of the cognitive biases that encroach on our lives and our work, and learn to start designing more consciously. 
  THIS BOOK EXPLORES:Why our brains take shortcuts—and why that matters in our workHow bias influences everything from user behavior to stakeholder decision-making to team dynamicsTechniques for noticing your own biases, and using them for good where you canMaking more humane and conscientious products and experiences

  Every day, without conscious effort, we engage in a fundamental act that sustains our life: breathing. The act of drawing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide is so integral to our existence that we often take it for granted. However, for millions of people around the world, this simple act can be a daily struggle, fraught with challenges and uncertainties. Welcome to a journey into the world of respiratory health, where we explore the complex and often misunderstood conditions of asthma and bronchitis. 
  Respiratory health is a cornerstone of our overall well-being, influencing our energy levels, physical capabilities, and overall quality of life. Yet, the prevalence of respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis continues to rise, impacting individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. As we embark on this exploration, it is essential to grasp the significance of these conditions and their profound effects on those who live with them.

  Reptiles - A Very Short...

  For millions of years reptiles have walked, crawled, and slithered over the face of our Earth. From the mighty dinosaurs who dominated the land, the pterosaurs who took to the air, and the marine adapted ichthyosaurs, to the living reptiles today such as the lizards, snakes, crocodiles, and turtles, plus the single species of tuatara in New Zealand, reptiles have come in all shapes and sizes. 
  In this Very Short Introduction Tom Kemp discusses the adaptations reptiles made to first leave the sea and colonize the land in dry conditions, such as their waterproof skin, their ability to expel almost dry waste products, their efficient use of external heat for maintaining their body temperature, and the amniotic egg that is laid and develops on dry land. Considering the different living groups of reptiles today, Kemp then describes how their respective bodies are adapted for their different ways of life, from snake feeding patterns to the way crocodiles breathe. Finally, Kemp assesses the threat of extinction to reptile species due to over-exploitation, habitat destruction, and climate change, and considers what can be done.
