A Good Book or Comprehensive Article About Biases?

Serious Q: Can you recommend a book or large article describing types of biases -- including but beyond the usual ones (confirmation, loss aversion, hindsight, etc.)? Very important to book I'm revising for use in law courts.

Master the "Rules of Reason" for Making and Evaluating Claims

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.

This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book

Wow, did I come to the right place! Thank you!  I bought the fallacies book a few years ago, and I'm providing bias information resources to a book of standardized jury instructions. I hope to be able to cite published references for various kinds of biases. This info really gives me a good start! More than a start, actually!
