Decision making under stress: emerging themes and applications - Aldershot, UK: Ashgate, 1997 - 338p.

Presents "a state of the art review of psychological theory, in research and practice, on decision making in high pressure and emergency situations. It focuses on the experienced decison makers who deal with such risks, on flight decks, at civil emergencies, in industrial settings and military environments." The papers in this book arise from a conference held in Aberdeen Scotland in 1996 sponsored by the US military. The contributors have a common interest in a new area called naturalistic decision making (NDM). Part 2 covers civil emergencies, part 3 deals with military command decisions, part 4 deals with flight deck decisions.
