How Long is a Piece of String?

With chapter headings such as ‘Can I Trust What I Read in the Papers?’ (on spin doctoring figures) and ‘Will I Catch Flu Next Winter?’ (on how epidemics spread), and covering topics such as fractals, statistics and sound waves, this follow-up to Why do Buses Come in Threes? uses mathematics to illuminate more everyday conundrums.
