Steven Levitt will deliver the Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture in Kresge Auditorium at 7:30p.m.
SuperFreakonomics, co-authored by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner and set for an October 20 release, "is the intriguing, equally funny sequel to the mega-selling
Freakonomics, in which the authors once again test the thesis that 'many apparent mysteries of everyday life don't need to be so mysterious,'" writes Allen Pierleoni of McClatchy Newspapers. "They answer such questions as: How much good do car seats do? Why are doctors so bad at washing their hands? And: Did TV cause a crime wave?" This event, like all Ubben Lectures (
Ubben Lectures ), is free and open to the public. Immediately following the lecture will be a book-signing.
