Is it safer to fly or take the train? How dangerous is skydiving?
And is eating that extra sausage going to kill you? We've all heard
the statistics for risky activities, but what do they mean in the
real world? In "The Norm Chronicles," journalist Michael Blastland
and risk expert David Spiegelhalter explore these questions through
the stories of average Norm and an ingenious measurement called the
MicroMort--a one in a million chance of dying. They reveal why
general anesthesia is as dangerous as a parachute jump, giving
birth in the US is nearly twice as risky as in the UK, and that the
radiation from eating a banana shaves 3 seconds off your life. An
entertaining guide to the statistics of personal risk, "The Norm
Chronicles" will enlighten anyone who has ever worried about the
dangers we encounter in our daily lives.
