Freakonomics and the sequel Super Freakonomics
What do estate agents and the KKK have in common?
Why do drug dealers live with their mothers?
How can your name affect how well you do in life?
The answer: Freakonomics. It's at the heart of everything we do and the things that affect us daily, from sex to crime, parenting to politics, fat to cheating, fear to traffic jams. And it's all about using information about the world around us to get to the heart of what's really happening under the surface of everyday life.
Now updated with the authors' New York Times columns and blog entries, this cult bestseller will show you how, by unravelling your life's secret codes, you can discover a totally new way of seeing the world.
The Freakquel is here. In their new international bestseller, Superfreakonomics, Steven Levitt 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?
~ Why is saving the planet easier than we think?
Sometimes, the most superfreaky solution is the simplest.
