If we consider the amount of time, energy and money spent on any entertainment activity then the greatest show on earth is human behavior, both the behavior of others and that of oneself. Humans are invariably curious and often fascinated about what they and others do and why they do it. Yes it is the greatest show on earth but people do not know the half of it. This book helps resolve this limitation by providing clearly explicated, scholarly sound, answers to 24 essential questions in the disciplines of psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, and economics-the "good stuff." Together these answers provide a comprehensive understanding of why people do what they do that promises to entertain as they enlighten.
