Why does a fly painted in a urinal save airports millions of dollars? Why does the night sky look dark when the universe is full of stars? Why do CEOs and chess grandmasters make the same mistake, and why does a golf ball travel further when a champion is putting for par than for birdie?
Sitting on the Shoulders of Giants turns 52 deceptively simple questions into surprising explorations of science, psychology, economics and human behaviour.
