Another fantastic read. It is more of the same if you liked the first one, which I did. Statistics can be used almost to prove any point, but one thing that is interesting about these books is that I don't get the impression that the authors have an agenda other then presenting crazy theories based on statistics. One of the studies I found very interesting was the one about global warming and pollution. Common knowledge has been telling us that automobiles, deforestation, industrial pollution have been the major contributing factor of global warming and pollution. But what the authors have shown is that a single volcano has done more for both then any man made contribution. Second, cow flatulence. That's right, you read that correctly, cow farts. With an increase of bovine and their gaseous by product, they produce an alarming rate of methane gas. So next time you order that hamburger or steak, you are encouraging global warming. ;) Remember this book is more for entertainment purposes, and is not scientific conclusion.
