More Damned Lies and Statistics How Numbers Confuse Public Issues More Damned Lies and Statistics: How Numbers Confuse Public Issues By Joel Best 2004 | 221 Pages | ISBN: 0520238303 | PDF | 5 MB In this sequel to the acclaimed Damned Lies and Statistics, which the Boston Globe said ''deserves a place next to the dictionary on every school, media, and home-office desk,'' Joel Best continues his straightforward, lively, and humorous account of how statistics are produced, used, and misused by everyone from researchers to journalists. Underlining the importance of critical thinking in all matters numerical, Best illustrates his points with examples of good and bad statistics about such contemporary concerns as school shootings, fatal hospital errors, bullying, teen suicides, deaths at the World Trade Center, college ratings, the risks of divorce, racial profiling, and fatalities caused by falling coconuts. More Damned Lies and Statistics encourages all of us to think in a more sophisticated and skeptical manner about how statistics are used to promote causes, create fear, and advance particular points of view. Best identifies different sorts of numbers that shape how we think about public issues. Entertaining, enlightening, and very timely, this book offers a basis for critical thinking about the numbers we encounter and a reminder that when it comes to the news, people count-in more ways than one.
