This May Help You Understand the World: A Timely Book for Those Confused by the Problems of a Troubled World - Softcover
Synopsis
Everyone has insecurities about what they think they should know—the popularity of Lawrence Potter’s previous book, Mathematics Minus Fear, proves that. With its humorous style, his book makes knowledge accessible to anyone.
Each day, newspapers deliver fresh information on conflicts all around the world. This May Help You Understand the World assures you that it is okay to need more information than what is carried in today’s papers. People do want to understand the facts behind the headlines, and Potter makes it his business to enable this by discussing the following topics:
- Who has won more battles: the autocrat, plutocrat, theocrat, meritocrat, bureaucrat, democrat, or pornocrat?
- What did you say this country was called? Identity crises in Eastern Europe.
- Charisma or coercion: leaders we fell out of love with.
- Who’s kicking now? Political footballs.
- Buckle up: ideology through the window of a private jet.
