"A fascinating book."--Ian Alexander Cuthbertson, Reading Religion "It's hard to see how miracles and math fit together. But if you accept László Mérö's invitation, you will enter a world where miracles are normal and the predictable sits side-by-side with the unpredictable. Along the way, he unveils the mathematics of the stock market and explains, in a playful yet mathematically accurate way, the roots of market crashes and earthquakes, and why 'black swans' are not just calamities but opportunities."--Albert-László Barabási, author of Linked "Engaging, accessible, yet consistently surprising, Laszlo Mero's The Logic of Miracles breaks new ground in the relationship of probability, fate, and the ability of human beings to behold them."--Douglas Rushkoff, author of Present Shock "This is a masterpiece. Laszlo Merö, with intelligence and wisdom, summarizes knowledge of mathematics and statistics, philosophy and psychology, natural and social sciences, to explain the nature of 'miracles' of life. Scientific methods are explained brilliantly, spiked with anecdotes and dry humor.
