This is a far from average book: the real story behind the statistics on risk chance & choice. Meet Norm. Hes 31 59 just over 13 stone & works a 39 hour week. He likes a drink doesnt do enough exercise & occasionally treats himself to a bar of chocolate (milk). Hes a pretty average kind of guy. In fact he is the average guy in this clever & unusual take on statistical risk chance & how these two factors affect our everyday choices. You can watch as Norm (who like all average specimens feels himself to be uniquely special) & his friends careful Prudence & reckless Kelvin turns to statistics to help him in lifes endless series of choices
- should I fly or take the train? Have a baby? Another drink? Or another sausage? Do a charity skydive or get a lift on a motorbike? Because chance & risk arent just about numbers
- its about what we believe who we trust & how we feel about the world around us. What we do or dont do has as much do with gut instinct as hard facts with enjoyment as understanding. If youve ever wondered what the statistics in tabloid scare stories really mean how dangerous horse-riding is compared to class-A drugs or what governs coincidence you will find it all here."

An upstart French duke who sets out to conquer the most powerful & unified kingdom in Christendom. An invasion force on a scale not seen since the days of the Romans. One of the bloodiest & most decisive battles ever fought. This riveting book explains why the Norman Conquest was the single most important event in English history. Assessing the original evidence at every turn Marc Morris goes beyond the familiar outline to explain why England was at once so powerful & yet so vulnerable to William the Conqueror's attack. Why the Normans in some respects less sophisticated possessed the military cutting edge. How William's hopes of a united Anglo-Norman realm unravelled dashed by English rebellions Viking invasions & the insatiable demands of his fellow conquerors. This is a tale of powerful drama repression & seismic social change: the Battle of Hastings itself & the violent ' Harrying of the North'; the sudden introduction of castles & the wholesale rebuilding of every major church; the total destruction of an ancient ruling class. Language law architecture even attitudes towards life itself were altered forever by the coming of the Normans. Marc Morris author of the bestselling biography of Edward I A Great & Terrible King" approaches the Conquest with the same passion verve & scrupulous concern for historical accuracy. This is the definitive account for our times of an extraordinary story a pivotal moment in the shaping of the English nation." ...
