Recenzii
A much needed Huff for our times.
Never be lied to by statistics again: this book will teach you everything you need to know to combat dodgy data, spot shoddy stats, and to start constructing your own robust and reliable statistics.
This book provides a straightforward and timely tutorial in how to make informed decisions regarding which statistics are to be trusted. This is precisely the type of book needed to empower the public to disentangle the valid from the invalid in the information age.
This book is a must for those taking introductory statistics courses. Rather than being a dry, technical textbook, it provides real-world every day examples of the use of statistics in everyday life.
This book provides a welcome complement to the wide range of 'how to do statistics' books that are available. It takes students in measured steps, providing useful exercises along the way.
Critical Statistics provides an accessible and entertaining tour through the ways that statistics can be used to mislead us. It's a thorough introduction for people who shudder at the thought of data, but people who see themselves as experts will learn something from this too.
This is a highly readable introduction to the ways numbers are manufactured and misrepresented in today's society, teaching the importance of thinking critically about statistics and showing how to do better in our own learning and research. In the age of fake news, this is essential reading for all students of the social sciences.
This is the perfect statistics book in an era in which it is so difficult to navigate the numbers and data we are exposed to in our everyday life. It helps the reader - anyone, from students to more expert readers - understand how difficult it is to interpret and utilize statistics in the news, and it teaches how to make better use of the incredible amount of data available today.
This is a most impressive teaching resource. De Vries adopts an embedded approach to introduce students to statistical reasoning, guaranteed to increase student engagement with quantitative methods and to encourage a much-needed critical eye to quantitative evidence.
