A book like to think further ahead if it seems to be, should be priced in line with the standard pricing Kindle “theory”. Perhaps the $ 15. 44 marker is just one giant “libertarian paternalism” choice architecture experiment? I wonder. . . . Rating: 1 / 5

So yes, I did what she said on pg 17-18 and measured the size of the table diagrams. the two tabletops measure 5 to 17 pg. 25mm by 2. 5mm and 5. 5mm by 2. 2mm respectively. A smaller difference suggests that the naked eye, but still a difference. Then on pg 18 we presented another diagram of two identical tabletops, 2. 4mm by 5. 4mm (or so, not all the sides, even in one of the diagrams) and told these tops have the same size as on pg 17, as she demonstrates all of them were identical. wtf?

I finally remembered how a book written by the liberal elite can become a bestseller: make it compulsory reading on the state-run college campuses! This book is required reading for a Lit course at our local Cal State University. Together with “Nickel and Dimed” by Barbara Ehrenreich, these are two examples of books that aim to indoctrinate young “minds of mush” against liberalism. Instead of educating the leaders of tomorrow, are set at U.S. colleges in the brainwashing required reading by students of propaganda like this. It was also the case 20 years ago when I was at school, it’s much worse nu.Dit kind of “push” should stay out of the halls of higher education. Rating: 1 / 5

I have to open with a BIG disclaimer: I’m just beginning the introduction of online reading. That said, I see that the authors have begun by not playing fair with the reader. In the first example, the two tables that are “equal” are not. Look to the right table, the two sides differ. This perspective cue. If the perspective is true, then the right table is much more reduced than the left table. That the two are “equal” in area in the plane of the paper is the trick, if these were the actual three-dimensional objects, they would not be equal to alle.Ik mistrust writers who play tricks to a point, and not later make the right tricks. Your mileage may vary. Rating: 2 / 5
