Bestselling author Nassim Nicholas Taleb continues his exploration of randomness in his fascinating new book, The Black Swan, in which he examines the influence of highly improbable and unpredictable events that have massive impact. Engaging and enlightening, The Black Swan is a book that may change the way you think about the world, a book that Chris Anderson calls, "a delightful romp through history, economics, and the frailties of human nature."
I have not yet read this book but from reading his previous (Fooled by Randomness) book and reading the reviews about this book I have absolutely no doubt that this is going to be another thought provoking and stimulating read on the theory and practices of probability.
