"Writing in a style that owes as much to Stephen Colbert as it does to Michel de Montaigne....Mr. Taleb presents a range of answers...but it's clear that he remains slightly vexed by the world he describes so vividly. Then again, beatific serenity may not be the goal here.... As Mr. Taleb warns, certitude is likely to be found only in a fool's (bell-curve) paradise, where we choose the comfort of the 'precisely wrong' over the challenge of the 'broadly correct.' Beneath Mr. Taleb's blustery rhetoric lives a surprisingly humble soul who has chosen to follow a demanding and somewhat lonely path. I wonder how many of us will have the courage to join him."
David A. Shaywitz, Wall Street Journal, 04/24/2007
Review:"[A] provocative macro-trend tome...."

The Black Swan; The Impact of the Highly Improbable (ISBN: 9780812973815) Taleb, Nassim Nicholas Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Random House, New York. Softcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: None issued. Second Edition. Book Description: " A black swan is an event, positive or negative, that is deemed improbable yet causes massive consequences. In this groundbreaking and prophetic book, Taleb shows in a playful way that Black Swan events explain almost everything about our world, and yet we--especially the experts--are blind to them. Taleb has added a new philosophical and empirical essay, 'On Robustness and Fragility,' which offers tools to navigate and exploit a Black Swan world."
