An entertaining examination of math and how it pertains to current events and decision making in real life. A worthy successor to John Allen Paulos' "A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper." The author is witty and explains things well, using illustrations when necessary. Some sections went over my head, but that's likely because I was tired and not giving it the focus the text deserves.
