Pygmalion
A Romance in five Acts
2011 || Paperback || George Bernard Shaw || Penguin Books
George Bernard Shaw's witty comedy of manners, Pygmalion includes an introduction by Nicholas Grene in Penguin Classics. Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of the sculptor Pygmalion, who falls in love with his perfect female statue, it is also a barbed attack on the British class system and a statement of Shaw's feminist views.

Reckoning with Risk / 1st edition
Learning to Live with Uncertainty
2003 || Paperback || Gerd Gigerenzer || Penguin Books

Are we misled by our ignorance of the reality of risk? Far too many of us, argues Gerd Gigerenzer, are hampered by our own innumeracy, w...
