Paperback. Etat : Good. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the landmark book Freakonomics comes this curated collection from the most readable economics blog in the universe. It's the perfect solution for the millions of readers who love all things Freakonomics. Surprising and erudite, eloquent and witty, When to Rob a Bank demonstrates the brilliance that has made the Freakonomics guys an international sensation, with more than 7 million books sold in 40 languages, and 150 million downloads of their Freakonomics Radio podcast. When Freakonomics was first published, the authors started a blog--and they've kept it up. The writing is more casual, more personal, even more outlandish than in their books. In When to Rob a Bank, they ask a host of typically off-center questions: Why don't flight attendants get tipped? If you were a terrorist, how would you attack? And why does KFC always run out of fried chicken? Over the past decade, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner have published more than 8,000 blog posts on the Freakonomics website. Many of them, they freely admit, were rubbish. But now they've gone through and picked the best of the best. You'll discover what people lie about, and why; the best way to cut gun deaths; why it might be time for a sex tax; and, yes, when to rob a bank. (Short answer: never; the ROI is terrible.) You'll also learn a great deal about Levitt and Dubner's own quirks and passions, from gambling and golf to backgammon and the abolition of the penny.  What happens when you view the world through Freakonomics-colored glasses? Counterintuitive Questions: Why don't flight attendants get tipped? If you were a terrorist, how would you attack? The answers reveal the hidden side of everything. Unintended Consequences: Discover what the data says about the best way to cut gun deaths, why it might be time for a sex tax, and the real reason you should never rob a bank. Pop Economics Gems: Drawn from over 8,000 blog posts, this curated collection explores the riddles of everyday life, from tipping and taxes to crime and cheating. Data-Driven Insights: Learn about Levitt and Dubner's own quirks and passions as they apply economic principles to everything from gambling and golf to the abolition of the penny. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. A New York Times Notable Book "An engaging and remarkably clear account of how the existence of dimension beyond the familiar three (or four if you include time) may resolve a host of comic quandaries.--New York Times Book Review The universe has many secrets. It may hide additional dimensions of space other than the familier three we recognize. There might even be another universe adjacent to ours, invisible and unattainable . . . for now. In this brilliantly readable and accessible account, leading theoretical physicist Lisa Randall takes us into the incredible world of warped, hidden dimensions that underpin the universe we live in, describing how we might prove their existence, while examining the questions that they still leave unanswered. Warped Passages provides an exhilarating overview that tracks the arc of discovery from early 20th-century physics to the razor's edge of today's particle physics and string theory, unweaving the current debates about relativity, quantum mechanics, and gravity. Randall demystifies the science and beguilingly unravels the mysteries of the myriad worlds that may exist just beyond the one we are only now beginning to know.…
