Updates to the 3rd edition
This improved and updated edition adds three substantive updates.

• Second, the bias chapter has been reorganised and extended with recent research on confirmation, selection.
• Third, short “AI Tip” call-outs show when and how current language-model tools can speed up tasks such as draft phrasing or exploratory charting
