Book description
Leonard Mlodinow reveals the psychological illusions that prevent us
understanding everything from stock-picking to wine-tasting, 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 is an exhilarating, eye-opening guide to
understanding our random world - read it, so you won't be left a
victim of chance.
Leonard Mlodinow has a Ph. D., has been a member of the faculty of
the California Institute of Technology and a television writer in

currently Vice President of Emerging Technologies and R&D at
