'An endlessly fascinating tour of the many different factors
influencing our decision-making and reasoning' David Robson, author
of The Intelligence Trap 'An eye-opening and engaging richness of
information that gives us a detailed insight into the strengths and
weaknesses of human behaviour' Melissa Hogenboom, author of The
Motherhood Complex Do emotions really cloud your thinking? Are
habits holding you back? Is AI manipulating your mind? Does IQ help
you think better? Every one of our thoughts, actions, moods and
decisions is shaped by a whole array of factors, most of which we
don't pay any attention to. From culture, time and language to
genetics, technology and the microorganisms living inside us - even
our own unconscious routines and habits - it's clear that we aren't
always in the driving seat. The good news is that by better
understanding the external and internal forces at work, we can
minimise their impact on our lives. Drawing on rigorous
interdisciplinary research, leading science journalists Miriam
Frankel and Matt Warren bring us extraordinary stories and studies
that open our eyes to the inner workings of the mind, challenge our
thought processes and improve our decision-making. Most of all, Are
You Thinking Clearly? is a rallying cry to know yourself, think
broadly, think boldly - and to listen. 'Essential reading for
anyone who wants to understand why their beliefs, mistakes,
emotions and intuitions are the way they are' Richard Gray, BBC

Future
Modern society is highly dependent on key critical systems either
physical or technology based. They have become more significant as
the information age has developed and societies have found
themselves dependant on these systems. The issue is that these
critical systems can be attacked and disrupted via Information
Warfare attacks and this is the major theme of this collection of
leading edge research. The book assesses how individual countries
deal with Information Warfare in terms of protecting critical
infrastructures or raising security awareness amongst a population
and reflects on other considerations of Information Warfare in
terms of the neutrality in Information Warfare, cooperation and the
role of activism. The paper uses a number case studies and examples
from around the around and particular emphasis is placed upon the
Estonian Cyber War and understanding what happened, why it happened
and ways to mitigate the situation. This book includes 9 important
case studies in this field from 6 different countries and an
introduction to the subject by Professor Matthew Warren from Deakin
University, Australia. Print version. This book contains 157 pages
