If reading the authors' last book did not drive you to want to read this one, then the subtitle should. You've got to love these books. They're like potato chips for the mind. Once you started reading a chapter, you cannot read just one. You have to read at least one more and then another and ... well, you get the idea.

Here are just a few of the more scintillating topics and theories that "the Stephens" lay out in this book.

In the first chapter, they make a case for prostitution (high class prostitution, mind you) so it makes sense for the professional woman. They even spend time with Allie, a professional who got into the escort business by accident and stayed with it by design. More entrepreneur than sex worker, she talks about the level of independence and financial freedom she experiences by working her craft. She is very selective about her clientele, is very expensive and is in complete control of her life. She knows that age will sooner or later catch up with her, but she is already saving her hard-earned cash and preparing to leave her "business" and get back to work.

Now you might not agree with Allie's lifestyle. I have to admit that I don't, but the point is that it is a viable lifestyle that makes sense for the right person.

Then there is the chapter about global warming and what really caused it and continues to cause it in the first place. I get a wicked sense of delight when reading that most of the stuff that the organics are doing is worse for the atmosphere than what Detroit is doing. For example, they write that cows are terrible polluters as are sheep and other cud chewing ruminants. "Their exhalation and flatulence and belching and manure emit methane, which by common measure is 25 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than the carbon dioxide that is released by cars ... The world's ruminants are responsible for about 50 percent more greenhouse gas then the entire transportation sector." Now isn't that a very "inconvenient truth?"

Okay ... here's just one more tidbit, and then you have to go out and get your own bag of chips ... er, I mean, book. Driving is much more dangerous than flying, and yes, most traffic deaths do not occur on freeways and highways but rather on the city street with the 25 mile an hour speed limit near your house. Think about that for a while.

So if you want to have some fun, and learn something cool to boot ... or if you just want to amaze your friends at the next dinner party ... or you just want to stick it to that guy at the office who saw "An Inconvenient Truth" five times ... get out there and pick this one up.

By the way, I read this book on my Kindle and paid $9.99 for it. If you buy the book itself it will cost you $29.99. So you really need to get a Kindle.
