Based on a wildly popular UC Berkeley course, a primer on how to think critically, make sound decisions, and solve problems—individually and collectively—using scientists’ tricks of the trade.

Both Edward and Aluara carry curses from the Sunless Kingdoms, and worse yet, they are both in love with one another. The two cursed lovers flee on a quest to reach the island of Akon, a place legend says the cursed can walk free of their infernal tormenters. But before that can happen, Edward must find refuge before the rising of the full moon brings forth the demon wolf that lies dormant within him. With no choice, they must seek sanctuary at the farm of Edwards's old friend, Duncan McAfree, the man responsible for Edward becoming cursed in the first place.
