Reviews

Informed by Knowledge, edited by Mosier and Fischer, two highly respected researchers in both the NDM and wider community, highlights the importance of information synthesis for decision making. The contributions from other authors cover key areas of research and raise pertinent questions, making this a book which should be kept readily to hand on your desk. It is a must for anyone interested in current decision making research. - Margaret Crichton, Ph.D., People Factor Consultants Ltd., UK For some 20 years the series of conferences on Naturalistic Decision Making have been influential in shaping the future research agenda of cognitive engineering and human factors. This timely volume, collecting and integrating research presented at the most recent such conference, promises to continue this venerable tradition. We read and hear so much these days about failures of even our best experts and elite organizations to 'connect the dots.' Much of the work reported here, skillfully compiled and edited by Mosier and Fischer, helps us understand why this is, and even more importantly, provides concrete steps to address these problems. This volume couldn't come at a better time to a world where the difference between success and failure increasingly lies in an ability to effectively cope with complexity and uncertainty. - Alex Kirlik, Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Drs. Mosier and Fischer have amassed an excellent collection of two dozen articles from well respected authors covering topics such as managing complexity, technology support and training for knowledge management, and overlooked issues in expert decision making. The latter topic area features one of my favorites, a superb thought provoking paper on 'Anticipatory Thinking,' by Klein, Snowden, and Pin. Another jewel among this string of pearls is Cohen's paper entitled, Knowns, Known Unknowns, and Unknown Unknowns: Time and Uncertainty in Naturalistic Decision Making. As always Dr. Cohen present some deep thinking on how experts manage time. Presented here is a cadre of informative and engaging papers on current cognitive psychological topics. - Elliot E. Entin, Senior Scientist, Aptima, Inc., USA
