Whether you realize it or not, numbers are everywhere--and integral to almost every facet of your life . . . from your next raise in pay to the inevitable rise of inflation, your weekly family budget to your end of the national debt. And as George Shaffner amazingly reveals, there are discerning answers (and a great measure of comfort) in numbers. In The Arithmetic of Life, he applies the basic principles of mathematics--addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division--to some of the most profound and just plain puzzling questions of our time. Illuminated with anecdotes, humor, and insight, each chapter explains a unique part of life that can be understood only through the magic of numbers. Whether it's an unconventional theory on why more things go wrong than right, a simple calculation of how much it will cost you to smoke for a lifetime, why crime (accumulatively) doesn't pay, or a glimpse into the probability of life after death, this enlightening and lucidly reasoned book will forever change the way you think about numbers--and the world around you.Binding Type: Paperback

Re-gift

I bought it for me, never used it and decided to re-gift to a friend that has issues with her hands and opening bottles. My friend loves it.

Does what it is supposed to do!
Color: Silver, Set name: Deluxe Wine Set
Really like this. It is very easy to use and clean and does the job well. I got it on sale so it was worth what I paid for it but not sure I would buy it at full price. If you like heavy red wines, this is a must.

Poor quality, broke very quickly
Color: Silver, Set name: Deluxe Wine Set
I've owned this for less than 90 days and the aerator has already stopped working. I put a fresh set of batteries in and it's completely dead
