This unique book provides a comprehensive, in-depth, and accessible introduction to the field of complex problem solving. Chapter authors -- experts in their selected domains -- deliver systematic, thought-provoking analyses generally written from an information-processing point of view. Areas addressed include politics, electronics, and computers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"...succeeds in providing readable introductions...a major accomplishment. It is very easy to overwhelm readers with the complexity of the tasks and the complexity of the models designed to describe performance on the tasks. Add to this the unfamiliarity of the tasks to many readers and the authors have a major challenge on their hands. They clearly meet the challenge....useful for researchers working within the domain of problem solving as well as for people seeking a basic understanding of this topic.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eContemporary Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"...strengthens psychology's claim to new domains and methods in the study of problem solving....if you have been wondering what has been happening recently in the higher end of cognitive psychology, then this book is well worth reading.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Journal of Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"...contains chapters of uniformly high quality that illustrate how cognitive psychology is coming to understand complex problem solving in a wide range of human endeavors.
