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.

Eat Meat... Or Don't.

Roughly 95% of Americans don’t appear to have an ethical problem with animals being killed for food, yet all of us would have a serious problem with humans being killed for food. What does an animal lack that a human has that justifies killing the animal for food but not the human?

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.

In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

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!
