Superfreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance - Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner
ISBN/ISSN: 0060889578
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. Four years later, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with SuperFreakonomics.
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?

Note: Author Stephen J. Dubner will give a public lecture at Rasumuson Hall on Wednesday, January 27th, at 4pm!
