Did you know that the odds of a condom breaking are the same as the odds of seeing a triple in a baseball game? That the odds of dying from measles and dying from an alligator attack are the same? That nearly 1 in 3 adults believes in UFOs and nearly 1 in 6 has reported seeing one? That the odds a workplace death will be a homicide are 1 in 9; the odds an adult showers less than once a week are 1 in 100; that 1 in 5 pregnancies is aborted; or that 1 in 9.35 brides is pregnant on her wedding day?
Drawing from a rigorously researched trove of over 400,000 statements of probability, based on the most accurate and current data available, THE BOOK OF ODDS is a graphic reference source for the everyday, the odd, and the outrageous - from stats on sex and marriage, health and disease, beliefs and fears, wealth, poverty, crime, addiction, habit, education, sports, and civic life, what emerges from this beatifully designed book is a rich portrait of who we are and the way we live today.
