Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The gritty and granular truth behind the wagers we make with our lives every single day - and, if we're unlucky, just once in a lifetime. What are your chances of living through the next 24 hours? This week? This month? This decade? Will your job kill you? Your car kill you? Your spouse kill you? Will your own bad habits kill you?
