Recently, I finished reading Freakonomics, by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. and I have to say that I really liked it!!
The book is focuses on the study of everyday aspects of life using the tools of economics and statistics. What I really liked is that the author is really trying to uncover the truth, and expose those who proliferate propaganda. Anyway, there’s also an accompanying website which hosts a great blog covering a variety of interesting topics.
Hey Dave,
I recommend having a read of Bursts: the hidden pattern behind everything we do. I made a recent blog posting about it http://softvis.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/bursts-the-hidden-pattern-behind-everything-we-do/
