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.

Reason: Books I & II

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

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!
