As you may know, I have a lot of time for Gary Klein. So when I found out by chance on Amazon that he had a new book coming out at the end of last year, I ordered my copy straight away. Those of you that have read previous GK books will not be surprised by the contents but it takes these same ideas deeper. Sources of Power was 20 years of reseach condensed into a single book. The Power of Intuition and Working Minds were more how-to guides for the lay manager & cognitive specialist respectively.
In "Streetlights & Shadows", you get the impression that GK has had a lot of debates with people who disagree with him. GK strikes me as the kinda guy who will go off and ponder unsatisfactory discussions, sometimes for years, until he gets an answer that he's happy with.
This is an immensely rich book but it's not for those seeking easy answers or quick tips & tricks. With luck, it may even make you think as deeply as Gary Klein.

Matt, you are clearly in league with Amazon. I am down nearly 60 quid thanks to your recent recommendations. They had better be good when they arrive.
(And I know I owe you an e-mail. I need to remember at the right time in the right place.)
Mark - I really ought to be on some kind of affiliate programme with them.
Count yourself lucky, I think I may have spent agreat deal more than 60 quid recently.
