Highlights I chose from David Hand's "The Improbability Principle"

https://sites.google.com/view/kirbyvariety1/improbability-principle-by-david-hand

This book by a British mathematician is a collection of events that are highly improbable and yet happened.   If you are interested in surprising things that had very low chance of happening and yet did, order it or borrow it from a library.  The link goes to a web page of citations and comments I made while reading the book.

Here is a link to the book at Amazon.  It is available in paper and ebook.  A 2nd-hand copy can be bought for $1.64.
