{"product_id":"rationality-for-mortals-gerd-gigerenzer-9780195328981","title":"Rationality for Mortals: How People Cope with Uncertainty","description":"Gerd Gigerenzer's influential work examines the rationality of individuals not from the perspective of logic or probability, but from the point of view of adaptation to the real world of human behavior and interaction with the environment. Seen from this perspective, human behavior is more rational than it might otherwise appear. This work is extremely influential and has spawned an entire research program. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume (which follows on a previous collection, \u003cem\u003eAdaptive Thinking\u003c\/em\u003e, also published by OUP) collects his most recent articles, looking at how people use \"fast and frugal heuristics\" to calculate probability and risk and make decisions. It includes a newly writen, substantial introduction, and the articles have been revised and updated where appropriate. This volume should appeal, like the earlier volumes, to a broad mixture of cognitive psychologists, philosophers, economists, and others who study decision making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerd Gigerenzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195328981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195328981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2009","brand":"Gerd Gigerenzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43914206609663,"sku":"9780195328981","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9bb76d13-1a82-4d56-b185-91a894b61d85.jpg?v=1680640955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rationality-for-mortals-gerd-gigerenzer-9780195328981","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
