More copies of this ISBN:This title in other formats:How to Lie with Statisticsby Darrell Huff
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Darrell Huff runs the gamut of every popularly 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 the figures, and points up the countless number of dodges which are used to fool rather than inform. Review:"A 1954 classic that continues to dispel false beliefs and inform the
statistically naive. Huff's direct and witty style exposes how
advertisers, government and the media mislead their audiences through
the misuse of statistics. Huff then explains how the reader can see
through the smoke and mirrors to get to the real meaning ? if any ?
of what is presented."
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:"This book needed to be written, and makes its points in an entertaining, highly readable manner." Management Review Review:"A pleasantly subversive little book, guaranteed to undermine your faith in the almighty statistic." The Atlantic Review:"Illustrator and author pool their considerable talents to provide light lively reading and cartoons which will entertain, really inform, and take the wind out of many an overblown statistical sail."
