The Tiger That Isn't - Seeing through a world of numbers |
A tiger? Or just sunlight on leaves? Numbers and statistics are not always what they seem and the authors use a clever mix of facts and stories to keep us amused and prove their case - that numbers can be used to inform or misinform, that we must be on our guard. Under deceptively simple chapter headings such as ' Size' or 'Chance' they give us the tools to help us judge for ourselves. (Wendy Swann - bwl 46 June 2008) |
