Description:	Select Guide Rating Randomness and uncertainty surround everything we do. So why are we so bad at understanding them? This title reveals the psychological illusions that prevent us understanding everything from stock-picking to wine-tasting. *Leonard Mlodinow''s The Drunkard''s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives* is an exhilarating, eye-opening guide to understanding our random world.** Randomness and uncertainty surround everything we do. So why are we so bad at understanding them? The same tools that help us understand the random paths of molecules can be applied to the randomness that governs so many aspects of our everyday lives, from winning the lottery to road safety, and reveals the truth about the success of sporting heroes and film stars, and even how to make sense of a blood test. The Drunkard''s Walk reveals the psychological illusions that prevent us understanding everything from stock-picking to wine-tasting - read it, or risk becoming another victim of chance. ''A wonderfully readable guide to how the mathematical laws of randomness affect our lives'' Stephen Hawking, author of A Brief History of Time
