Scammed by Statistics
Scammed by Statistics provides a case-by-case argument for the reading public's need to read graphs and charts as closely as it reads written texts. The book empowers readers by exposing how the manipulation of statistics can be not only deceitful, but also, in some cases, deadly. Any discipline that deals with statistical information will benefit from this book. As someone not schooled in statistics, I know that after reading Scammed by Statistics, I will be skeptical and analytical when I encounter data presented as undeniable fact. --Dennis Healy (High School English Teacher)
