A pleasantly subversive little book, guaranteed to undermine your faith in the almighty statistic.
A hilarious exploration of mathematical mendacity.... Every time you pick it up, what happens? Bang goes another illusion!
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.
