Dance with Chance - covers for USA & Canada edition (published 1 May 2009) and UK & rest of world edition (published 1 April 2009)

Why did no one see the subprime crisis coming? Does golf make you live longer? Why does the casino always win at roulette? What are the odds of a coconut landing on your head?

Dance with Chance answers these questions and many more besides. More importantly, it shows us how to gain greater control over many aspects of our lives - by knowing just when to trust to luck.

Written by experts for anyone with an enquiring mind, Dance with Chance will inform, inspire and entertain. In the meantime, this site offers a taster of this wonderful and timely new book.
