- Some people fear and mistrust numbers. Others want to use them for everything. After a long career as a statistician, Paul Goodwin has learned the hard way that the ones who want to use them for everything are a very good reason for the rest of us to fear and mistrust them. A tour of the stupidest, most self-defeating, self-blinding ways in which supposedly clever people use maths in everyday life. <b>A fieldguide to the numbers that rule our world, even though they don't make sense.</b>
