Numbers saturate the news, politics, and life. For good or ill, they are today's pre-eminent public language - and those who speak it rule. Quick and cool, numbers often seem to have conquered fact. But they are also hated, often for the same reasons. They can bamboozle not enlighten, terrorise not guide, and all too easily end up abused and distrusted. Potent but shifty, the role of numbers is frighteningly ambiguous. How can we sour our way through them? First, relax....
Vilnis says:
"Don't be numbed by numbers"
A fascinating book. On the face of it, it is about statistics, but actually it is about something far deeper - how we perceive and interpret the information that affects all our lives deeply...This simple, highly entertaining book will provide you with a practical sense of how to interpret much of what you hear in the press. You will never view a number in the same way again (and that is a very good thing).
