Although often aided by sophisticated technologies, these people ultimately rely on their own intellect to identify, synthesize, and communicate the information on which the nation's security depends. The IC's success depends on having trained, motivated, and thoughtful people working within organizations able to understand, value, and coordinate their capabilities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eIntelligence Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e provides up-to-date scientific guidance for the intelligence community (IC) so that it might improve individual and group judgments, communication between analysts, and analytic processes. The papers in this volume provide the detailed evidentiary base for the National Research Council's report, \u003cem\u003eIntelligence Analysis for Tomorrow: Advances from the Behavioral and Social Sciences\u003c\/em\u003e. The opening chapter focuses on the structure, missions, operations, and characteristics of the IC while the following 12 papers provide in-depth reviews of key topics in three areas: analytic methods, analysts, and organizations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Informed by the IC's unique missions and constraints, each paper documents the latest advancements of the relevant science and is a stand-alone resource for the IC's leadership and workforce. The collection allows readers to focus on one area of interest (analytic methods, analysts, or organizations) or even one particular aspect of a category. As a collection, the volume provides a broad perspective of the issues involved in making difficult decisions, which is at the heart of intelligence analysis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Scienc, Board on Behavioral Cognitive and Sensor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309176980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309176989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420191805695,"sku":"9780309176989","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ead0eb11-4fb2-4726-bd14-c6cd6eac5ce3.jpg?v=1734633913","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intelligence-analysis-national-research-council-9780309176989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
