review 1: This is an interesting book full of live short vignettes about things that various scientists have discovered. I found several of them intersting, but a very few of them applicable to my life. The most interesting one to me was one about the captchas (little oddly printed words that you have to type when creating a new account for something on the internet) and how they are being used to decode old texts. Several of the vignettes were about gambling or other things that I'll never do. But there is also some interesting social science in there about how people behave in various situations.
review 2: A book series that I enjoyed reading in the past was Imponderables, and this book reminded me a lot of those books with the added benefit of having studies back up t... morehe information that it provides. I found myself sharing much of the information I learned with my friends and family. If you enjoy learning random facts and information I highly recommend this book. I received this book as a first reads win. less
