Certainly a book on this topic should be far more interesting than this article makes it look, so rather than dismiss the book out of hand I took a look around.

Certainly a book on this topic should be far more interesting than this article makes it look, so rather than dismiss the book out of hand I took a look around. After looking briefly at the companion site for the book [0] (not much there), then the publisher's page on the book [1] (ditto) I took a look at the table of contents on Amazon [2]. Definitely there are some very interesting items there that I wish they'd used for this article, like: * Experts sketch: [They] externalize their thoughts * Experts work with uncertainty: [They] keep options open * Experts test: [They] are alert to evidence that challenges their theory Unfortunately, there are no samples of those chapters. Looks like it could be an interesting read, though.
