Reviews

Reviews for the original edition: It is a unique book... It is an encyclopaedic account of the systematic errors that can occur when subjects try to attach magnitudes to their experiences... Philip T. Smith, Reading University ...It is much needed and will be much cited. It compiles a wealth of otherwise disparate information into a structure unified by a consistent viewpoint and in a way that will be of practical use to people working with human judgement in pure and applied science. A.W. Macrae, Birmingham Poulton writes in a crisp clear style which is easy to follow and undergraduates here will have no difficulty in understanding him. Donald Laming, University of Cambridge
