Julian Baggini provides a rapid-fire selection of short, stimulating, and entertaining quotes from a wide range of famous people in politics, the media, and entertainment, including Donald Rumsfeld, Emma Thompson, Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, and Chris Martin. Each entry takes as its starting point an example of highly questionable-though oddly persuasive-reasoning from a broad variety of subjects. As Baggini teases out the logic in the illogical, armchair philosophers and aficionados of the absurd will find themselves nodding their heads as they laugh out loud. \u003ci\u003eThe Duck That Won the Lottery\u003c\/i\u003e is perfect fodder for any cocktail party and pure pleasure for anyone who loves a good brain twister.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452295414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Julian Baggini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45150611538101,"sku":"9780452295414","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_da41f3e7-994b-4b89-93e7-5d21c633fd37.jpg?v=1741104497","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-duck-that-won-the-lottery-100-new-experiments-for-the-armchair-philosopher-9780452295414","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
