Books, Manuscripts
Some people fear and mistrust numbers. Others want to use them for everything. After a long career as a statistician, Paul Goodwin has learned the hard way that the ones who want to use them for everything are a very good reason for the rest of us to fear and mistrust them. 'Something Doesn't Add Up' is a field guide to the numbers that rule our world, even though they don't make sense.
