How to Lie With Statisitcs
April 29th, 2009A best seller and recommended by Richard Maybury (author of the Uncle Eric series). The author runs the gamut of every popular used type of statistic, probes such things as the sample study, the tabulation method, the interview technique, or the way the results are derived from figures, and points up the countless number of dodges which are used to fool rather than to inform. A highly readable and excellent book.
Mr Huff’s lively, human interest treatment of the dry-as-bones subject of statistics is a timely tonic…This book needed to be written, and makes its points in an entertaining, highly readable manner. – Management Review
A pleasantly subversive little book, guarnteed to undermine your faith in the almighty statistic. - Library Journal
