About the book

A history of probability, statistics and risk management, Peter L. Bernstein's account argues that the effort to master risk is a central idea that sets modern times apart from the distant past, and that the tools of risk management freed people from reliance on oracles and soothsayers. It became a bestseller.

Marc Andreessen listed it in part one of his Pmarca Guide to Career Planning.
