Naked Statistics : stripping the Dread from the Data - New York, W. W. Norton and Company, 2013 - xviii, 282p. 18 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Statistics is a profound tool for inferring truths from data, not proving them, and ultimately it has no say on what questions we ought to seek answers to. That judgement is reserved for the human. We decide how to employ statistics, and it can do much good when used properly and much harm when misused. Statistics can be used to lie, but it is crucial for telling the truth.
