Reckoning with Risk: Learning to Live with Uncertainty
ISBN: 9780140297867 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the beginning of the 20th century, the father of modern science fiction, H.G. Wells, predicted that statistical thinking would be as necessary for citizenship in a technological world as the ability to read and write. Yet, a century on, most of us, from television weather forecasters to the American President, seem to have no idea of how to reason about uncertainties. Accordingly, a number of books and popular books have marshalled a long roster of cognitive illusions as evidence of humans' fundamental irrationality.
