Decision making in 4 steps - Strategies and operational steps for effective decision making and choice in uncertain contexts

Stefano Calicchio

Sinopsis

Why is it so important to understand what drives us to act in everyday life? How do we make decisions? What thought structures do we follow to determine our choices?

In this guide you will find a simple, clear and comprehensive explanation of what it means to make a decision and how to improve the process of choosing in the face of uncertainty. Every day people have to make estimates, evaluations and decisions about thousands of possibilities. Science has shown that expert decision-makers make choices differently from ordinary people.

This guide takes the reader by the hand and takes them through four step-by-step passages that highlight the key issues:

- what it means to make a decision and what the main scientific theories on decision-making are;
- how cognitive errors and bìas work when we make decisions;
- what role emotions play in choice processes;
- what the limits are and how far one can go in this field.

Learning to make functional and effective choices is a skill that can be learned by anyone, but only if they have the right knowledge and put it into practice. This guide is accompanied by numerous invitations to self-analysis and practical exercises, so as to offer the reader a true path of personal development.

The Dachau Nazi Trial - The...

Davis Truman

During the postwar years, the United States initiated a comprehensive trial program in Germany to address Nazi crimes. This program included three main sets of trials: the International Military Trial at Nuremberg, the Nuremberg Military Tribunals, and trials conducted at the Dachau concentration camp. The Dachau trials focused on prosecuting individuals involved in atrocities at several camps liberated by American forces, such as Dachau, Mauthausen, Buchenwald, Flossenbürg, and Dora-Mittelbau. 
These trials were a critical effort by the United States to punish Nazi crimes within the concentration camps. Over 1,000 defendants were tried at Dachau for violating the laws of war, as defined by international and American military norms. The legal process faced challenges due to the unprecedented nature of the crimes. A notable innovation in the Dachau trials was the use of a criminal conspiracy charge, which accused defendants of participating in the standard criminal design of the concentration camp system as a criminal organization. 
However, after 1947 and 1948, issues arose due to inadequate planning for the trials' aftermath, particularly regarding the appellate process for convicted individuals. This became more pressing amid escalating tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. Two scandals drew public attention, leading to official investigations by the U.S. Congress into the Dachau tribunal program. 
While the reviews were critical of the Army's handling of clemency, they largely praised the trials themselves. Despite this, over time, the Dachau trials faded from public memory.

Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks...

Roibeard O'Maolalaigh

Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks has been written both as a self-tuition course for beginners and also for use within the classroom. You may want to learn Gaelic because of a general interest in Celtic or Scottish history and culture, or because it was the everyday language of your ancestors. The cynical observer may wonder if the exercise is worthwhile, when only 1.5 per cent of Scotland's population speak the language.
However, Gaelic is far from dead; in some parts of the Highlands and Western Isles it is the everyday language and it represents an important part of the United Kingdom's cultural mix. There are Gaelic-learning classes in almost every area of Scotland. Each lesson in the book contains some essential points of grammar explained and illustrated, exercises, a list of new vocabulary (with a guide to pronunciation, using the International Phonetics Alphabet), and an item of conversation.
This new edition includes an audio download link.

Where Biology Ends and Bias...

Shoumita Dasgupta

A geneticist and internationally recognized anti-racism educator provides a powerful, science-based rebuttal to common fallacies about human difference. 
 
 
  
Well-meaning physicians, parents, and even scientists today often spread misinformation about what biology can and can't tell us about our bodies, minds, and identities. In this accessible, myth-busting book, geneticist Shoumita Dasgupta draws on the latest science to correct common misconceptions about how much of our social identities are actually based in genetics. 
 
 
  
Dasgupta weaves together history, current affairs, and cutting-edge science to break down how genetic concepts are misused and how we can approach scientific evidence in a socially responsible way. With a unifying and intersectional approach disentangling biology from bigotry, the book moves beyond race and gender to incorporate categories like sexual orientation, disability, and class. Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins is an invaluable, empowering resource for biologists, geneticists, science educators, and anyone working against bias in their community.
