| Synopsis: |
Bigger, better and more controversial, the international bestselling "Freakquel" is here in a super-deluxe, super-illustrated edition. Steven Levitt, the original rogue economist, and Stephen Dubner look deeper, question harder and uncover even more hidden truths about our world, from terrorism to shark attacks, cable TV to hurricanes. They ask, among other things: what's a sure-fire way to catch a terrorist; are people hard-wired for altruism or selfishness; which cancer does chemotherapy work best for; and, why is saving the planet easier than we think. With this illustrated edition, Levitt and Dubner bring alive their unique analysis and storytelling with an explosion of visual evidence to reveal the world in a bold, new way. Seeing is believing... |
