This book needed to be written, and makes its points in an entertaining, highly readable manner., A hilarious exploration of mathematical mendacity.... Every time you pick it up, what happens? Bang goes another illusion!, Illustrator and author pool their considerable talents to provide light lively reading and cartoon far which will entertain, really inform, and take the wind out of many an overblown statistical sail., "In one short take after another, Huff picks apart the ways in which marketers use statistics, charts, graphics and other ways of presenting numbers to baffle and trick the public. The chapter "How to Talk Back to a Statistic" is a brilliant step-by-step guide to figuring out how someone is trying to deceive you with data.", A pleasantly subversive little book, guaranteed to undermine your faith in the almighty statistic., A great introduction to the use of statistics, and a great refresher for anyone who's already well versed in it.

    Items arrived in a well packed strong box. Individual items were packed tightly in bubble wrap and snug, no breakage! There was an issue with one of the four bottles received and that was resolved with a refund for the one bottle that same day. This seller took care of my concerns quickly, and I thank them for how well they responded to my issue. I would purchase from them again! Thank you for making things right. They have many sales for almost 25 years, that says something. . . Stability!

    Shipping was as expected: Less than a week. The packaging was very well protected. The quality was as advertised: in sound, excellent, or mint condition. The value was exceptional, That's why I bought it, and the appearance was satisfactory. It's great when a seller delivers what they advertise. I will buy from this seller again.
