      This book is mainly a collection of reprints of papers, earlier published by Joseph Kadane, together with several coauthors. Additionally, he gives short newly written introductions to these 15 papers. Among these reprinted papers are: [the author and \textit{F. L. Næshagen}, Ann. Appl. Stat. 7, No. 2, 846--859 (2013; Zbl 1288.62198); \textit{C. R. Hogg} et al., Bayesian Anal. 5, No. 1, 1--33 (2010; Zbl 1330.62134); \textit{S. T. Tokdar} et al., Bayesian Anal. 6, No. 4, 547--572 (2011; Zbl 1330.86033)].NEWLINENEWLINEPublisher's description: A fair question to ask of an advocate of subjective Bayesianism (which the author is) is ``how would you model uncertainty?'' In this book, the author writes about how he has done it using real problems from the past, and offers additional comments about the context in which he was working.
