About the Book: The Improbability Principle: Why Coincidences, Miracles and Rare
Events Happen all the Time
Why coincidences, miracles and rare events happen all the time...
Why is it that incredibly unlikely phenomena actually happen quite regularly and
why should we, in fact, expect such things to happen? Here, in this highly
original book - aimed squarely at anyone with an interest in coincidences,

by weaving together various strands of probability into a unified explanation,
which he calls the improbability principle.
This is a book that will appeal not only to those who love stories
