Peddler in Another World: I Can Go Back to My World Whenever I Want (Manga): Volume 4
After a rather soggy excursion through the nearby forest, Shiro returns to Ninoritch with a fairy named Patty Falulu in tow, who is looking for her long-lost friend. In spite of her insistence that her hume buddy hails from this little town, the vague description of him provided by the fairy doesn’t ring any bells with anyone, and none of the residents they ask seem to recognize the matching pendant he supposedly wears as a mark of his friendship with the fairy. Still, they persevere and keep on looking high and low for Patty’s friend, even though it quickly becomes apparent that the whole endeavor is akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. While the search continues, the town’s annual harvest festival rapidly approaches, and according to Karen, there is a very good chance Shiro’s not-quite-as-dead-he-thought grandmother might be in attendance. Will both Shiro and Patty manage to reunite with the people they thought they would never see again?

Gut Feelings
Think less – and know more. A sportsman can catch a ball without calculating its speed or distance. A group of amateurs beat the experts at playing the stock market. A man falls for the right woman even though she’s ‘wrong’ on paper. All these people succeeded by trusting their instincts – but how does it work? In Gut Feelings psychologist and behavioural expert Gerd Gigerenzer reveals the secrets of fast and effective decision-making. He explains that, in an uncertain world, sometimes we have to ignore too much information and rely on our brain’s ‘short cut’, or heuristic. By explaining how intuition works and analyzing the techniques that people use to make good decisions – whether it’s in personnel selection or heart surgery – Gigerenzer will show you why gut thinking can change your world.
Gut Feelings
Why is split second decision-making superior to deliberation? Gut Feelings delivers the science behind Malcolm Gladwell's Blink. Reflection and reason are overrated, according to renowned psychologist Gerd Gigerenzer. Much better qualified to help us make decisions is the cognitive, emotional, and social repertoire we call intuition, a suite of gut feelings that have evolved over the millennia specifically for making decisions. Gladwell drew heavily on Gigerenzer's research. But Gigerenzer goes a step further by explaining just why our gut instincts are so often right. Intuition, it seems, is not some sort of mystical chemical reaction but a neurologically based behavior that evolved to ensure that we humans respond quickly when faced with a dilemma (BusinessWeek).
Reckoning with Risk
"This is an important book, full of relevant examples and worrying case histories. By the end of it, the reader has been presented with a powerful set of tools for understanding statistics...anyone who wants to take responsibly for their own medicalchoices should read it" - New ScientistHowever much we crave certainty, we live in an uncertain world. But are we guilty of wildly exaggerating the chances of some unwanted event happening to us? Are ordinary people idiots when reasoning with risk?Far too many of us, argues Gerd Gigerenzer, are hampered by our own innumeracy. Here, he shows us that our difficulties in thinking about numbers can easily be overcome.
