Paperback. A fact can be a slippery thing. Shorn of context, it can lend undeserved authority to a shoddy opinion; artfully combined with other facts, it can crowd out dissent. And it is not always clear that we do respect the things. This book aims to amuse and astound, and sometimes even to change the way you see the world. Num Pages: 192 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: JFCA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 131 x 15. Weight in Grams: 190. Good clean copy with some minor shelf wear
