About this title: Paulos takes the reader through the pages of an imaginary newspaper and explains the mathematics of politics, sports, greed, sex, and relationships. The book clarifies such concepts as probability and randomness in order to show the fallacies behind many stories on crime, health risks, and other social obsessions.

"This was not as good as I was expecting. There were some interesting and humorous sections, but way too much pontificating for the sake of it. Not sure I'll read another of these."

"The fact that average Americans fail at math makes it super easy to manipulate them via the media through intimidation. This country as we know it would probably fall apart if people started to pay attention to math and science."

"A great way for students to see real life examples of math. Students tend to forget how they interact with math in the daily lives, so this book can really get them thinking about it again. It is especially interesting when it is applied to the SAT scores, which definitely gets the students engaged in the reading."
