Superfreakonomics. Global cooling, patriotic prostitutes, and why suicide bombers should buy life insurance. Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner. 2010. ISBN 9781554686087. This reads like a novel with twists, turns and surprises on every page. A very easy to read fact filled and entertaining book. If you have read Freakonomics you know what you are in for. If not you will find this a treat. I really enjoyed the discussions form Intelligent Ventures in Seattle. If you have heard about geoengineering, you will find out more about much simpler responses to global warming than we have head from others. And yes you will hear detractors. But such is the lot of people who debunk sacred cows – especially ones that have so much funding and lobbying attached.
