What is Super Freakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance about?
The __New York Times__ best-selling __Freakonomics__ was a worldwide sensation, selling over four million copies in thirty-five languages and changing the way we look at the world. Now, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with __SuperFreakonomics,__ and fans and newcomers alike will find that the freakquel is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first. Four years in the making, __SuperFreakonomics__ asks not only the tough questions, but the unexpected ones: What's more dangerous, driving drunk or walking drunk? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective? Can a sex change boost your salary? __SuperFreakonomics__ challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as: * How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa? * Why are doctors so bad at washing their hands? * How much good do car seats do? * What's the best way to catch a terrorist? * Did TV cause a rise in crime? * What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? * Are people hard-wired for altruism or selfishness? * Can eating kangaroo save the planet? * Which adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor?
