Query: Who would have thought a Mathematics book could entertain?

Strangely enough (or so one might think) I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I even caught myself chuckling aloud a few times. A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper de-mystifies the role Math plays in our everyday lives, and sheds a little (much needed) clarity on many of the "truths" behind the statistics we hear about all the time. I highly encourage anyone (even self proclaimed or closet mathematophobes) to read this book. It teaches a little, encourages a little, explains a little, and entertains a lot
