Uncover the unseen forces that shape our world.Why does one smoker die of lung cancer while another lives to 100? Michael Blastland reveals the answer lies in "The Hidden Half"—those random, unknowable variables that confound our attempts to understand the world. This insightful exploration challenges our overconfidence in expertise and exposes the limitations of human knowledge. Is this popular science for you? If you seek to: - Improve decision-making in the face of uncertainty - Navigate complex systems with greater awareness - Develop critical thinking skills to challenge assumptions Then, delve into compelling stories from economics, genetics, business, and science that demonstrate how easily we lose sight of the unexplainable. The Hidden Half is a provocative warning that explanations which work in one arena may fail in another, urging us toward intellectual humility and a more nuanced view of reality.
