London: William Collins / HarperCollins. 454 pp. Paperback thick octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein provide a revolutionary exploration of why people make bad judgments and how to make better ones. Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients - or that two judges in the same courthouse give markedly different sentences to people who have committed the same crime. Suppose that different interviewers at the same firm make different decisions about similar job applicants. Now imagine they make different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday. These are examples of noise: variability in judgments that should be identical. The detrimental effects of noise affects many fields, including medicine, law, economic forecasting, forensic science, bail, child protection, strategy, performance reviews, and personnel selection. The authors suggest noise audits among other innovative remedies. Kahneman is the Nobel Prize-winning author of the groundbreaking 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' and coauthor of 'Nudge'.

Washington, DC: Brookings Institution. 102 pp. Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), cloth spine, top edge foxed (other edges slightly), rear pastedown little foxed, minor edgewear. Herbert Kaufman asks why bureaucratic red tape is rarely discussed analytically. Why does something so universally detested flourish? Part is definition: each of us applies it to our own pet grievances, which may differ from those of other people. However, there is a common core of meaning, as identified in the first part of the book. The second part searches for the origins of red tape in the US federal government, and finds the source not in a clique of fools or villains, but in all of us. Red tape springs from the diversity of values to which people in our society subscribe, from the demands on government to which these values give rise, and from the responsiveness of the government to the demands. Proposals for eliminating it are found wanting in this regard - they may even generate as much red tape as they cut. A more fruitful policy would be to remove the worst of red tape's irritants, to make bearable what we cannot end. The author is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. ISBN/ASIN: 0815748426.

By British neuropsychologist Lawrence Weiskrantz, a British neuropsychologist, has researched blindsight and amnesia in patients for 30 years. The phenomenon of consciousness is intrinsically related to one's awareness of self, time and the physical world. We can learn about consciousness from brain-damaged patients who suffer from conditions affecting their awareness. Contrary to the perception that many have about brain-damaged patients, many of these individuals retain intact capacities of which they are unaware - in what is known as 'covert processing'. Weiskrantz maps his own research onto a philosophical argument which, combined with the latest brain imaging studies, points the way to specific brain structures which may be involved in conscious awareness.
