Review:This book makes mathematics fun and easy. it is the only book for maths that i am not getting tired of despite having English as a second language. As a teacher I am inspired by the humorous and smart way of introducing maths to students. i am planning to buy the second book as well. I hope Danica writes more books explaining algebra and other difficult math concepts. Read more

Review:Dan Ariely has done it again! A fascinating book that will make you think and see the world differently! Highly recommend the book - especially if you like social sciences and behavioural economics :) Read more

Review:A well written introductory book on a topic as feared as statistics is something worth looking at. It's not an academic book, but it's a very nice first read for someone who will take any statistics course, or maybe just have an urge to learn more about statistics but doesn't want to get into all that math from the beginning. Here you'll learn broad concepts and uses. Read more

Review:Overall it fulfills the objective in the title, but there were some things that I think could be easily improved upon:

1. I found the overall organization of the book confusing, even though it is a short book. It's fine if you just read it beginning to end as I did, but if you are trying to figure out "Intro" vs. "Scenarios" in "Example Section 1" vs. "Example Section 2", etc., particularly with the amount of repetition within each section and between sections. Even the "Booklet Structu... Read more

Review:One of the most powerful books. Math should not be a gate keeper. Integrates Dweck's work. Teacher must read. Add to your teacher prep programs and book study plc. What happened to the kindle version? Read more

Review:Hikers and armchair travelers alike will love this thoughtful meditation on all things trails. A true work of literature on par with some of the great nature writers, including Barry Lopez, Robert MacFarlane, John McPhee. I look forward to more works from this gifted young writer and explorer.

Review:Taleb eplores of one of the least understood forces in all of our lives; mistaking luck for skill.

Here is a person with a single, but large topic, who spent his life exploring randomness vertically and horizontally, maturing it, getting into its most interesting wrinkles. The book is a feast to read and re-read. I laughed a lot while reading the book and had to think even more about Taleb's deep understanding of the philosophy of probability. He's amazingly articulated so you can see his... Read more

Review:I bought this book with the cube together because my son wanted to learn how to play. Unfortunately, he told me that the book was a bit confusing and not as helpful. I decided to keep the book because now my youngest daughter wants to learn so maybe she finds it useful somehow. Read more

Review:The book is amazing, the people I bought from were not. When the used book arrived from Czars all the pages were coated in a dingy film. The book reeked of an odor I must assume was rat piss. Holding the book to read made me nauseous and ill. After teaching through chapter 1, I finally took it to a graphic arts place and had them photo copy all the pages so that I could throw it away.

Review:I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is taking Calculus. Each problem is explained step by step and the formulas are constantly reminded. There are a wide range of problems from easy to difficult which makes learning gradual and permanent. The writer has a good sense of humor and is a good teacher. Read more
