I browsed it in a bookshop and found it interesting; then I saw it so cheap that I got it in English. A nice, small one to take on the train.

Nice one. Organized around a poor man, whose day is rather bad. Everything bad that could happen to him, there we have it. A mishap each chapter, followed by a related explanation.
I've liked the explanation of time's curvature, explained in a two dimensional model. It probably is a standard explanation, although I hadn't read it before (or, at least, I hadn't put much attention into it).
Although its title could make you think otherwise, it's resembles more "Lo que Einstein le contó a su barbero" than "Undercover economist". Which, as I write, seems obvious to me, considering what the two books are about.
Quite a long bibliography, so it would be useful for someone writing on any of the topics.

I had a talk with loclien about soap, dirt and cleaning and told him about this book. He took it yesterday, in the meetup, with the condition that there is no hurry with it. Ok, let it be.

And a few days ago, I started to read it, and so, I realized that it was registered in BC. Phew....so I did it again.... :-/
Thanks, Olepinto, for the book, I already read the chapter about soap, and found it quite interesting.
And reading your review about the book, you have make me feel curious about time's curvature....I suppose this is an explanation about relativity, right?
I think I'm gonna enjoy this book, though I'm not quickest guy around when reading in english, I'm afraid. :-P

Oops, it's at home again (it arrived some time ago, in fact). Available for any curious mind.

Passed to AGui. Can't believe he hadn't read any book in English... Time for a change!

One of those which will make it into Geomni Free Library's take #1!
