About This Item
23 pages with photographs. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's blue wrappers. First edition. Daniel M. Oppenheimer is a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University in the Department of Social and Decision Sciences. Previously, he was a professor at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. From 2004 to 2012 he worked at Princeton University's Department of Psychology. Primarily interested in cognitive psychology, he researches causal discounting, charitable giving, perceptual fluency, and people's perceptions of randomness. He won the 2006 Ig Nobel Prize in Literature for his paper "Consequences of Erudite Vernacular Utilized Irrespective of Necessity: Problems with using long words needlessly" which argues that simple writing makes authors appear more intelligent than complex writing.In 2012, he authored a book on political psychology and democracy, Democracy Despite Itself: Why A System That Shouldn't Work at All Works So Well. His intellectual fearlessness is best expressed in his belief that academic rigor and a sense of humor can be mutually inclusive. Inside the lab, this belief leads him to engage in a standing bet with another scholar about who can get the stranger citation past peer-review on their papers (Oppenheimer's past successes include Chicken Run and Count Chocula). Condition: Some age toning to wrappers, light rubbed else a very good copy.
