[ 4.0 stars ] "Charles Seife's book Proofiness starts off as a well written book that slowly loses focus. The first half of the book is what is expected, a cursory look into how numbers and statistics can be used to hoodwink people into believing things that are not quite true or outright false.

Nobody can escape the falsehood of the number. Numbe ..." Courtesy by Amazon

All and all this book is a good introduction into media numerical skepticism. ..." Courtesy by Amazon
