探討如何將電腦科學中的演算法原理應用到日常生活與人類決策中。作者結合心理學、認知科學與計算機科學，說明演算法不僅是電腦解題的工具，更是我們在面對生活難題時可借鑑的思考模型。本書涵蓋多種實用議題，透過演算法的視角來處理生活中的決策與權衡，例如：➤最佳停下時機（Optimal Stopping）：如何判斷在眾多選項中何時停止尋找並做出決定，如招聘或約會。➤探索與利用的平衡（Explore-Exploit Trade-off）：何時探索新機會，何時利用已知資源。➤排序與組織：提升查找效率的策略。➤快取管理：如何在有限記憶空間中有效保留重要資訊。➤工作排程與切換成本：如何管理多任務與優先順序。➤貝氏定理（Bayes's Rule）：結合先驗知識與新資訊做出推論。➤放寬問題限制：在無解或計算困難的情況下，尋求「夠好」的近似解。➤隨機性與資源管理：利用隨機策略在不確定環境下取得良好結果。➤網絡與遊戲理論：理解互動系統與多方利益的決策動態。書中強調，雖然演算法能為複雜問題提供指導，但現實生活中決策仍存在不確定性和失敗風險。重要的是採用合理的策略來面對時間與資源限制，並學習在不完美中作出最佳抉擇。該書還指出，人類在面對計算難題時，常能透過直覺和簡化模型達成驚人的表現。此書獲得廣泛好評，被譽為一本能讓人重新認識「演算法」不僅屬於科技領域，更是生活智慧的指導手冊。A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives.

Teddy and company start to suspect that whoever is after Rhonda is really after her horn, which is worth a lot of money on the black market.For the first time ever, the head of the zoo enlists Teddy for help—for once, he doesn’t have to sneak around in order to investigate—and the results are even more wacky, and even more dangerous, than ever before.
