A leading behavioral economist reveals the tools that will improve our decision making on screensOffice workers spend the majority of their waking hours staring at screens. Unfortunately, few of us are aware of the visual biases and behavioral patterns that influence our thinking when we\'re on our laptops, iPads, smartphones, or smartwatches. The sheer volume of information and choices available online, combined with the ease of tapping buy, often make for poor decision making on screens.In The Smarter Screen, behavioral economist Shlomo Benartzi reveals a tool kit of interventions for the digital age. Using engaging reader exercises and provocative case studies, Benartzi shows how digital designs can influence our decision making on screens in all sorts of surprising ways.For example: - You\'re more likely to add bacon to your pizza if you order online. - If you read this book on a screen, you\'re less likely to remember its content. - You might buy an item just because it\'s located in a screen hot spot, even if better options are available. - If you shop using a touch screen, you\'ll probably overvalue the product you\'re considering. - You\'re more likely to remember a factoid like this one if it\'s displayed in an ugly, difficult-to-read font.Drawing on the latest research on digital nudging, Benartzi reveals how we can create an online world that helps us think better, not worse.

Provide necessary background. How Real is Race? Second Edition brings together biological and cultural information to make sense of current contradictory messages about race. How real is race? Or rather, in what sense is race real? What is biological fact and fiction? Where does culture enter? And what does it mean to say race is a social construction? If race is an invention, who invented it? Why? And can we eliminate it? These key questions frame this book. With updated conceptual material and suggested activities in every chapter, plus a new hot button issue chapter, this second edition is a clearly written, accessible sourcebook for anyone interested in the questions above. How race became embedded in a medical instrument In the antebellum South, plantation physicians used a new medical device—the spirometer—to show that lung volume and therefore vital capacity were supposedly less in black slaves than in white citizens. At the end of the Civil War, a large study of racial difference employing the spirometer appeared to confirm the finding, which was then applied to argue that slaves were unfit for freedom. What is astonishing is that this example of racial thinking is anything but a historical relic.In Breathing Race into the Machine, science studies scholar Lundy Braun traces the little-known history of the spirometer to reveal the social and scientific processes by which medical instruments have worked to naturalize racial and ethnic differences, from Victorian Britain to today. Routinely a factor in clinical diagnoses, preemployment physicals, and disability estimates, spirometers are often “race corrected,” typically reducing normal values for African Americans by 15 percent.An unsettling account of the pernicious effects of racial thinking that divides people along genetic lines, Breathing Race into the Machine helps us understand how race enters into science and shapes medical research and practice.
