Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Short description:
Steven Levitt, the original rogue economist, and Stephen Dubner have been working hard, uncovering the hidden side of even more controversial subjects, from charity to terrorism and prostitution. And with their inimitable style and wit, they will take us on another even more gripping journey of discovery.
MoreLong description:
"Jauntier and more assured than the first." - Time magazine
"As one of the most successful writing partnerships in publishing, they make an entirely complementary and logical team in the same way that Jack Spratt and his wife did at the dinner table. Mr. Levitt provides the economist's methodology and number-crunching skills and Mr. Dubner writes it all up so as to make it interesting -- and comprehensible -- to the layman." - Daily Telegraph (London)
"The clever authors of the popular Freakonomics return for the inevitable and equally readable sequel, this time identifying a unifying theme: People respond to incentives. " - USA Today
"Genuinely fascinating." - The Guardian
"Jaunty, entertaining and smart. Levitt and Dubner do a good service by making economics accessible, even compelling." - Kirkus Reviews
"The intriguing, equally funny sequel to the mega-selling Freakonomics." - Sacramento Bee
"This terrific follow-up to the bestseller Freakonomics has a surprising amount in common with its Rick James-inspired title: Both include prostitution; both cover topics you wouldn't normally expect most people to enjoy, but they can't seem to resist here; both are bouncy and lyrical enough to keep you entertained for hours; and both will stay with you for years longer than you would have initially suspected." - The Courier-Journal (Louisville, Kentucky) The Courier-Journal (Louisville, Kentucky) The Courier-Journal (Louisville, Kentucky)
"Entertaining, well-written, and full of surprises and insights....I really liked Freakonomicsand I think SuperFreakonomics is even better...I recommend this book to anyone who reads nonfiction. It is very well written and full of great insights." - Bill Gates
"Thank goodness they are back . . . with wisdom, wit and, most of all, powerful economic insight." - Los Angeles Times
"The idea of SuperFreakonomics...is to do more of what was done before. The book does it nicely." - Chicago Sun-Times
"Like Freakonomics, SuperFreakonomics ingeniously and imaginatively renders data so that we are startled to see the unlikely and unforeseeable in what on second glance seems so obvious." - The Calgary Herald (Alberta)
"Intoxicatingly readable." - Washington Post
"An inventive and even useful application of economics to unusual subjects....The strength of this book, as of the original, is in how it applies the time-tested tools of economics in unusual places to turn up surprising conclusions." - BusinessWeek
"Levitt and Dubner passionately argue that 'cheap and simple solutions' could be just around the corner - if only we could be a little more rational." - Time Out London
"Provocative." - BusinessWeek
"Fascinating...An afternoon with Levitt and Dubner's book will transform you into the most interesting person in the room that evening.... its seeds of thought and pulpy ruminations are...sure to stimulate and delight" - National Public Radio
"Takes us on another rollercoaster ride across the terrain of the improbable....Spectacularly interesting, attesting, once again, to the authors' uncanny ability to sift contemporary economic research and cherrypick the really juicy stuff....SuperFreakonomics is a humdinger of a book: page-turning, politically incorrect and ever-so-slightly intoxicating, like a large swig of tequila....It's all a bit freaky, of course - but in a thoroughly enlightening way." - The Times (London)
