"An invaluable resource for anyone who aspires to think clearly" (The Guardian) from the New York Times bestselling author of Superforecasting and Future BabbleFrom terror attacks to collapsing economies, from painkiller epidemics to mass gun violence and poisonous toys from China, our list of fears seems to be exploding. Yet we are the safest and healthiest humans in history. Why are we so worried? The Science of Fear is an introduction to the new brain science of risk, dissecting the fears that misguide and manipulate us every day. Award-winning journalist Dan Gardner demonstrates how irrational fear springs from the ways humans miscalculate risks based on our hunter-gatherer brains. With the exclusive cooperation of risk-science pioneer Paul Slovic and other leading experts, Gardner reveals how our "gut" reactions lead us astray. Understanding our irrational fears frees us from political and corporate manipulation, and makes our choices better. Ultimately, The Science of Fear will make you brave. "Excellent... Analyzes everything from the media's predilection for irrational scare stories to the cynical use of fear by politicians... A] cheery corrective to modern paranoia."--The Economist "An entertaining, often jolting account of why trivial risks terrify us, even as we engage in wildly dangerous activities with hardly a qualm."--Kirkus (starred review) "Elegantly weaves academic research and everyday experience, exposing the secrets of emotion and reason, and the essential roles they play on our lives. An excellent book."--Dan Ariely, New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational

Love this Dress Shirt
These are my favorite white dress shirts. Unfortunately, not always in stock. Hard to find.
Fits comfortably. Easy to wash and almost wrinkle free after each wash. I barely have to iron them.
Fabric is thick, not transparent at all but still breathable. Price you pay was set perfectly according to the quality of the fabric.

Dressy Shirt, Casual Price
This slim fit Van Heusen has a fair price, but the feel of a fancy shirt. It's lightweight and has a bit of a glossy sheen. Despite all the negative reviews about the cut being too bulky in the middle, this fits me to a T. I'm pretty slim -- at 6' 140# -- and, while slightly generous in shoulder width and sleeve length, the shirt tapers at the waist very nicely. If tail length is the problem, SHIRT STAYS are a cheap, simple solution. Some reviews also complained about wrinkles. Well, DRY CLEAN -- because yeah, if you're tossing a cotton/poly shirt into a washer and dryer, it will get wrinkly. I pressed the shirt off using an IRON without any problem. In fact, this shirt seemed easier to press than others. Great shirt. Good deal.

Stain Shield Works, But Not Really a Slim Fit Shirt
Good quality for the price. Impressed with the stain shield which actually prevents sweat/wetness from showing... even in extreme heat. No joke. But this is not a slim fit shirt in my opinion. Too much material at the waist with not a lot of length to be able to assist in tucking it all in. Also, I imagine it's the stain shield, but there is definitely a chemical smell to the shirt that survived a few washings. If you're sensitive to that smell, it could be an issue.

Beautiful shirt!
I bought this along with Calvin Klein gingham tie in blue and although different brands they matched perfectly. I bought these for my 22year old son who doesn’t like to buy clothes except tee shirts. Also got Dockers navy pants for him to wear to funeral. He looked great in all of it and he can wear to other dressy events and look sharp. He was also very happy with the fit and look. Amazon delivery was speedy before we left town! Thank you.
