Super Freakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner is a sequal to Freakonomics which I just loved!

Review:
This does not have the shocking pleasure that Freakonomics had simply because it is a sequel and, thereby, is less likely to surprise. It was, however, quite refreshing and pleasurable in itself. I really enjoy hearing about how things that don't seem to be related really are. Of particular interest to me was the "garden hose" solution to Global Warming. This is an eclectic mix of topics usually that helps us understand why something happens as opposed to figuring out how to prevent something bad from happening. So much for altruism (OK, so it is an inside joke from the book, but it is a good joke and hopefully you will laugh after you have read it).
