This excellent introduction to decision making manages to combine clarity of exposition with sophistication of analysis. The beginning student for whom it is intended will find it at once accessible and thought-provoking.

Nicholas Rescher

The inclusion of some social psychological material plus a chapter on bargaining and negotiation makes this text less limited than other[s]. . . . If [the instructor's] objective is to expose students to a text that is quite strong in the practical aspects of decision making, this book would be an excellent choice.
