The volume is written accessibly, and key points are illustrated with a wide range of lively examples, including correlations between intelligence measured at different ages through adolescence; correlations between public health expenditures, health life expectancy, adult mortality, and other country characteristics; correlations between wellbeing and state-level vital statistics; correlations between the racial composition of cities and professional sports teams; and correlations between childbearing intentions and childbearing outcomes over the reproductive life course"--
