The New York Times called Chances Are, the authors' look at the application of probability in everyday life, a "dizzying, exhilarating ride."

The Kaplans' ability to explain everything from statistics to evolutionary biology in witty, accessible, and anecdotal style will endear this book to readers of Blink, Freakonomics, and other recent pop-social science successes.
