Why does one smoker die of lung cancer but another live to 100? The
answer is 'The Hidden Half' - those random, unknowable variables
that mess up our attempts to comprehend the world. We humans are
very clever creatures - but we're idiots about how clever we really
are. In this entertaining and ingenious book, Blastland reveals how
in our quest to make the world more understandable, we lose sight
of how unexplainable it often is. The result - from GDP figures to
medicine - is that experts know a lot less than they think. Filled
with compelling stories from economics, genetics, business, and
science, The Hidden Half is a warning that an explanation which
works in one arena may not work in another. Entertaining and
provocative, it will change how you view the world.
