Bozo Sapiens: Why to Err Is Human por Michael Kaplan
The book had some interesting bits but I was not a fan of the overall set up. Parts of the book were very dry and I thought the first half of the book was far better than the second half.

I like a good non-fiction book that teaches me things but I felt like I was slogging through the whole 2nd half of this book. It was about a 2 1/2 star for me/

This book is made up of a lot of interesting case studies to reflect and deliver on the book's premise, but in the end I'm not sure what we are meant to 'do' with the various illustrations and examples other than to maybe try in our own ways to become more thoughtful, alert and logical, (which is noble after all). It is a well-researched text but, based on the writing style and breadth of information provided, I would venture to say that this book was meant to be flipped through and read at one's leisure rather than to be used as an in-depth study.… (más)
a nicely written reminder of what I once learnt at university. adds a lot of history and human endeavour to the theorems which was interesting.
