"Best part was an example of how statistics were used to show who the author was of some of the disputed Federalist papers, using the frequency of common word usage."

"I read it along my Statistics class. Nice to get some "why" from this book in addition to the "how" from the lectures. I was completely unaware of the statistical revolution before reading this book."

"I really enjoyed this book. Even though I knew nothing about stats going in, I was able to understand (albeit at a very basic level) the concepts introduced. Throughout I started having little epiphanies about how statistics influences my (and most people's) every day lives.

I also feel a little more prepared for my stats class this semester in that I have a real sense of why statistics is important, and how it makes data meaningful for decision-making."
