Based on revolutionary research and original studies, SuperFreakonomics promises to once again challenge our view of the way the world really works. It challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions: How is a street prostitute like a department store Santa? Who adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Did TV cause a rise in crime? Can eating kangaroo meat save the planet? Whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically, SuperFreakonomics show the world for what it really is—good, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, super freaky.
