Oneworld Publications The Elements of Choice
Book SynopsisFirst, this book will change how you see the world. Then you will change how others see it.Trade Review‘Indispensable. This book provides an essential guide to the construction of better choices – for yourself, for other individuals and for society.’ -- Daniel Kahneman, author of Noise and Thinking, Fast and Slow‘Eric Johnson is an absolute giant – one of the pioneers of modern behavioural science, with an unmatched combination of theoretical sophistication, a firm moral core, and a keen practical sense. He’s a brilliant thinker, a terrific storyteller, and a fun, vivid writer. He’s a hero of mine, and I read everything he writes.’ -- Cass Sunstein, author of Nudge‘Illuminating… A strong argument for more thoughtfully presenting options to yield better choices.’ * Kirkus *‘Eric Johnson distills the modern science of decision-making with incomparable clarity and the most captivating stories. His book is a must-read for anyone who wants to know how we can help one another make wiser choices.’ -- Angela Duckworth, author of Grit‘Eric Johnson offers a powerful tool kit for designing better end-to-end decision-making processes. His deep insight and expertise shine through on every page.’ -- Jonah Berger, author of The Catalyst and Contagious‘This book explains human decision-making with the rare clarity and insight that only comes from a researcher at the top of their field. An essential read for anyone who wants to make better choices.’ -- Nir Eyal, author of Hooked and Indistractable‘Anyone serious about knowing how best to structure the features of an offered choice or how best to respond to the presence of those features needs to read this book.’ -- Robert Cialdini, author of Influence and Pre-Suasion‘Every choice you make – from the health plan you select to the sandwich you order for lunch – was designed by someone. The Elements of Choice brilliantly reveals the subtle yet powerful levers that influence your decisions.’ -- Carol Dweck, author of Mindset‘Eric Johnson is the world’s leading expert on choice architecture. No one is better qualified to map the invisible webs of influence that constrain all we do.’ -- Philip E. Tetlock, author of Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction‘The Elements of Choice is a must-read for anyone interested in the hidden forces that shape our daily decisions. And as one of the foremost scholars of judgment and decision making, Eric Johnson is the perfect person to write this important and engaging book.’ -- Katy Milkman, author of How to Change‘I love this book. It shows how you can be influenced, when making decisions, by the way the choices are presented to you. Do you think you made up your own mind about saving, spending or investing? Maybe you were subtly guided toward choices best for the financial institution, not for you. The Elements of Choice will open your eyes.’ -- Jane Bryant Quinn, author of How to Make Your Money Last‘The Elements of Choice is a manual for designers, policy-makers, and founders to understand how consumers choose. I hope it’ll be used to design smarter apps, menus, and policies that help us all choose better.’ -- Jon Stein, founder and chairman of Betterment‘An engaging and useful guide to the seemingly inconsequential factors that influence our choices. If you want to make better choices, this book is your chance to learn from a master choice architect.’ -- Barbara Mellers, George I. Heyman University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania‘Readers will be fascinated by this persuasive exploration.’ * Publishers Weekly *

Island Press Escape from the Ivory Tower: A Practical Guide
Book SynopsisMost scientists and researchers aren't prepared to talk to the press or to policymakers - or to deal with backlash. And many researchers have the horror stories to prove it. As Nancy Baron points out, scientists who decide they want to inform those outside their own research arena and help guide public discourse need to learn a new set of skills. No matter what your scientific specialty is, writes Baron, the keys to success are thinking clearly, knowing what you want to say, understanding your audience, and using everyday language to get your main points across. Developing these skills is the object of this book. According to Baron, scientists, journalists and policymakers represent three very different cultures. Speaking effectively to journalists and policymakers - the people who make scientists' findings available to the general public - requires scientists to learn a new language. In this clear and understandable guide to 'communicating science', Baron explains to scientists how to engage an audience, how to tell why a particular finding matters, and how to describe research in an interesting way. She explains to journalists how to develop the same skills for explaining science. The book includes case studies from journalists and from some of the more than 4,000 scientists Baron has trained in communication workshops. Many of her trainees have gone on to become well-known spokespeople for science-related issues. The book is accompanied by an interactive website maintained by Baron herself.

The University of Chicago Press Honor and Respect
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Titles and forms of address change occasionally. Hickey, the foremost authority on these matters, has now given us a must-have guide for everyone who does business in the United States and internationally. Every office and library should have a copy of this book! In our fast-paced world, it is more important than ever to know how to address people properly, and doing it correctly will always matter.” -- Ambassador Mary Mel French, Chief of Protocol for the United States, 1997–2001, and author of United States Protocol: The Guide to Official Diplomatic Etiquette"Honor and Respect is the most comprehensive reference for appropriate titles, forms of address, and honorifics. Hickey’s third edition additionally provides style guidelines, supplementary examples, and revised formulae that recognize and attend to current-day convention. Once again, his vast knowledge of diplomacy and protocol delivers a five-star guide." -- Ambassador Capricia Penevic Marshall, Chief of Protocol for the United States, 2009–13"Honor & Respect is an indispensable resource for government officials, businesspeople, and academics alike. I don't travel without consulting it first and invariably appreciate the quality and accessibility of its content. Hickey continues to provide a great service to the diplomatically minded with his latest edition." -- Ambassador Peter Selfridge, Chief of Protocol for the United States, 2014–17"Hickey’s Honor and Respect is the source we turn to at The Emily Post Institute for detailed information on using names and titles appropriately. Not only does Hickey offer history for each term, but his examples are also a huge aid in figuring out what can sometimes be complex constructions and variations on titles that can confuse even the people holding them! This book is not just a wonderful and impressive resource, it’s an important slice of American life that sociologists especially will value for generations to come." -- Lizzie Post, copresident, The Emily Post Institute and coauthor with Daniel Post Senning of Emily Post's Etiquette, The Centennial EditionTable of ContentsAuthor’s Note Foreword Part I.
