The Drunkard's walk how randomness rules our lives

With the born storyteller's command of narrative and imaginative approach, Leonard Mlodinow vividly demonstrates how our lives are profoundly informed by chance and randomness and how everything from wine ratings and corporate success to school grades and political polls are less reliable than we believe.?By showing us the true nature of chance and revealing the psychological illusions that cause us to misjudge the world around us, Mlodinow gives us the tools we need to make more informed decisions. From the classroom to the courtroom and from financial markets to supermarkets, Mlodinow's intriguing and illuminating look at how randomness, chance, and probability affect our daily lives will intrigue, awe, and inspire.?From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • ""Cuando en la vida diaria tomamos una decisión, no tenemos conciencia de lo mucho que el azar interviene en esta determinación modificando sus efectos. Los procesos aleatorios son fundamentales en la naturaleza, pero la mente humana ... necesita identificar una causa concreta para una acción determinada...el profesor Mlodinow nos explica, con ejemplos tan sorprendentes como divertidos, las leyes de la aleatoriedad y nos ofrece las herramientas que necesitamos para identificar su presencia. Y es que el acierto o el error muchas veces no proceden de un gran conocimiento o de una gran incompetencia, sino circunstancias fortuitas y erráticas, como el andar de un borracho." -- Reverso de cubierta."@es
