Call Number: HM535 .B477 2008
ISBN/ISSN: 0520257464
Best offers commonsense strategies to critically analyze questionable statistics that crop almost daily in our culture, much of which are either miscalculated, misinterpreted, blown out of proportion or deliberately misleading. Best draws on recent news stories, advertising blurbs and other media reports to illustrate his points. His other two works, Damn Lies and Statistics and More Damned Lies and Statistics are also available at NMSU Library. Highly readable, accessible and valuable.
