Opis

This book promises not to drown you in an endless stream of trivial or meaningless numbers or ways of calculating them. Instead, it presents odds of numerous events happening as engaging stories that are short, sharp and simple - and, above all, relevant to everyday life. Stories are not only packed with up-to-date and thoroughly researched information, they also present intriguing insights into the topics discussed. Though quirky at times, they strive to inform and entertain even if they cannot always turn odds in your favour. Surendra Verma is a journalist and author based in Melbourne, Australia. He has published numerous popular science books internationally which have been translated into 13 languages.
