What information should jurors have during court proceedings to render a just decision? Should politicians know who is donating money to their campaigns? Will scientists draw biased conclusions about drug efficacy when they know more about the patient or study population? The potential for bias in decision-making by physicians, lawyers, politicians, and scientists has been recognized for hundreds of years and drawn attention from media and scholars seeking to understand the role that conflicts of interests and other psychological processes play. However, commonly proposed solutions to biased decision-making, such as transparency (disclosing conflicts) or exclusion (avoiding conflicts) do not directly solve the underlying problem of bias and may have unintended consequences. Robertson and Kesselheim bring together a renowned group of interdisciplinary scholars to consider another way to reduce the risk of biased decision-making: blinding. What are the advantages and limitations of blinding? How can we quantify the biases in unblinded research? Can we develop new ways to blind decision-makers? What are the ethical problems with withholding information from decision-makers in the course of blinding? How can blinding be adapted to legal and scientific procedures and in institutions not previously open to this approach? Fundamentally, these sorts of questions—about who needs to know what—open new doors of inquiry for the design of scientific research studies, regulatory institutions, and courts. The volume surveys the theory, practice, and future of blinding, drawing upon leading authors with a diverse range of methodologies and areas of expertise, including forensic sciences, medicine, law, philosophy, economics, psychology, sociology, and statistics. Introduces readers to the primary policy issue this book seeks to address: biased decision-making. Provides a focus on blinding as a solution to bias, which has applicability in many domains. Traces the development of blinding as a solution to bias, and explores the different ways blinding has been employed. Includes case studies to explore particular uses of blinding for statisticians, radiologists, and fingerprint examiners, and whether the jurors and judges who rely upon them will value and understand blinding.

Part visceral dream-memoir, part fictive journey through a hallucinatory Bucharest, Mircea Cărtărescu’s Blinding was one of the most widely heralded literary sensations in contemporary Romania, and a bestseller from the day of its release. Riddled with hidden passageways, mesmerizing tapestries, and whispering butterflies, Blinding takes us on a mystical trip into the protagonist’s childhood, his memories of hospitalization as a teenager, the prehistory of his family, a traveling circus, Secret police, zombie armies, American fighter pilots, the underground jazz scene of New Orleans, and the installation of the communist regime. This kaleidoscopic world is both eerily familiar and profoundly new. Readers of Blinding will emerge from this strange pilgrimage shaken, and entirely transformed.

After a potentially fatal trauma, Frank is about to embark on the journey of his life. He is about to discover how our lives are defined by choices--some we make ourselves and some made by those around us. Trapped in a strange, dark place, Frank is confronted by how others influenced his life and how the decisions he made put him in this terrifying situation. We all make thousands of decisions every day, but even the smallest actions could have a huge impact. And even the choices that have the biggest effect on our lives sometimes come with doubts, causing us to question whether we chose right. In those moments, we often start to play the "What If?" game. "What if I'd made a different choice? Would that have led to a different outcome, or would the result be the same no matter what I did?" As Frank slowly begins to discover, sometimes life happens no matter what, and sometimes the "What If?" question leads to the answer we've been looking for. Ultimately, facing death is the only thing that gives us perspective on the value of our life. This moment, right here, right now, is the only reality. There is nothing else. But, as Frank's story demonstrates, hearing those words of wisdom and experiencing it for yourself are two very different things.

In Solar System J1-8T, there are a pair of twin moons, Caligos and Perplexia. Because of the horrific accident where Perplexians killed the princess of Caligos, they had no choice but to seek revenge. Perplexians countered their bloodthirst by casting the Great Blinding Curse said to permanently blind all Caligians then and forever. As time went on, the Perplexians created the Tendoim nation of Caligos. However, on his thirteenth birthday, one Caligian by the name of Khol Revon breaks free from the curse. This gift of sight makes him valuable to the Caligian government. As a 'Seeing', he is one of the few Caligians who have the ability to make up for all those who are blind. Because of this, the Caligian government kidnaps him and places him into a 'Seeing' finishing camp, where he makes an unlikely group of friends. The desire to simply survive is what brings them close together, but their differing plans to free all Caligians from the curse distances them. This forces Khol to make the biggest choice of his life: continue with the way things are, or potentially lose his life in search for a theorized cure found in the dreaded Tendoim nation.

Writing from his background as a conservatory-trained musician and his lifelong passion Gert Jonke (born in 1946) has produced literary works in every genre involving the lives and works of various composers. This volume includes four pieces in several forms -- a prose poem in tribute to Olivier Messiaen's great piano work "Catalogue d'oiseaux", which gives the title to the piece; a short story in the form of recollections by George Frederick Handel during the last hours of his life; a play (Gentle Rage) in which Ludwig van Beethoven figures as the alternately despondent and triumphant main character; and a novella whose point of departure is the bizarre, accidental shooting death of Anton Webern in 1945 (Blinding Moment).
