Annotation:

A great overview for non-experts and laypersons about how to determine the quality of numerical evidence very much in the same spirit as the famous book about lies and statistics by Darrell Huff. This classic book should be required reading not just for statisticians, but everyone who must sort out the blizzard of numbers we find ourselves assaulted with in the daily news.
