Review:
A fascinating layman's trek... stimulating conclusions. -- The New Yorker, April 3, 2006

A great subject. Exhilarating ... the authors choose their examples cleverly and explain them through arresting metaphors. -- The New York Times and the International Herald Tribune, March 31, 2006

An enjoyable and revealing read aimed at the general reader. Its surprising and ironic conclusions make it anything but predictable. -- Science a gogo.com, April 2006

An enjoyable treat... entertaining stories. Kaplan and Kaplan write as intriguingly as their inveigling topic. -- Booklist, March 2006

Never before has statistics been treated with such awe and devotion. -- Publisher's Weekly, March 27, 2006
