Reviews
There are two ways to learn about statistics. You could endure pages of maths, formulae and words that are, literally, so last century (or more). Or you could learn from informative case studies exploring how, when and why data are used well or badly in todays society. I prefer the second option; happily, the authors do too., What a timely book. In a world drowning in data we all need to know how to critically evaluate the numbers we confront every day. This book will help you ask those all-important questions and demystify statistics. From 'is that a lot?' to 'is that possible?' the authors guide you through statistical techniques that are easy to understand and simple to apply. Read it, learn the techniques and use them to become a critical data consumer., This excellent new book goes beyond the familiar fundamental concepts of statistics to cover the vital, but often neglected issues of place and time. It is essential reading for students who want to understand the use and misuse of numbers.
Table Of Content
Chapter 1 IntroductionChapter 2 How to make numbers sound big, or small, even when they aren't: "Is that a lot?"Chapter 3 Recognizing which numbers you should trust: "Where is the data from?"Chapter 4 Making surveys representative: "Who you gonna call?"Chapter 5 Graphics in the media and how to read them: "What does this mean?Chapter 6 Maps in the media: "Where is this happening?"Chapter 7 Mapping patterns and people: why does geography matter?Chapter 8 Understanding uncertainty in estimation: "are you sure?"Chapter 9 Ranking with league tables: "Whats the best?"Chapter 10 When a relationship (doesn't) mean causality: "How did that happen?"Chapter 11 Surprising quirks in the media: "Is that possible?"Chapter 12 Conclusion
Synopsis
The amount of data produced, captured and transmitted through the media has never been greater. But for this data to be useful, it needs to be properly understood and claims made about or with data need to be properly scrutinized. Through a series of examples of statistics in the media, this book shows you how to critically assess the presentation of data in the media, to identify what is significant and to sort verifiable conclusions from misleading claims. How accurate are polls, and how should we know? How should league tables be read? Are numbers presented as 'large' really as big as they may seem at first glance? By answering these questions and more, readers will learn a number of statistical concepts central to many undergraduate social science statistics courses. By tying them in to real life examples, the importance and relevance of these concepts comes to life. As such, this book does more than teaches techniques needed for a statistics course; it teaches you life skills that we need to use every single day., "There are two ways to learn about statistics. You could endure pages of maths and formulae, or you could learn from informative case studies exploring how, when and why data is used well or badly in todays society. I prefer the second option. Happily, the authors do too." - Richard Harris, University of Bristol This is not your typical statistics textbook. The amount of data produced by and presented in the media has never been greater. But can we trust what we are being shown? In an age of fake news, how can you understand what data is real, misleading, or simply plain wrong? This book shows you how to critically evaluate the data you see in the media. It weaves everyday real-life examples with statistical concepts in a way that makes statistics come alive. No complex equations, no overly technical language . This isn't just learning the techniques needed to pass a stats course. This is a book for anyone who reads (or writes) the news, watches adverts, or goes on the Internet. It will give you tools and knowledge you can apply every day to make sense of the use, and misuse, of data in the media., Through a series of examples of statistics in the media, this book shows you how to critically assess the presentation of data in the media, to identify what is significant and to sort verifiable conclusions from misleading claims., The amount of data produced, captured and transmitted through the media has never been greater.

- 3***6 (1)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 1 個月購買已獲認證There's nothing to rate because I NEVER received it. Ordered on 9/7 with an initial scheduled delivery date of 9/13. It then got delayed (no explanation) until 9/20. That date came and went and still no communication from the seller. It's now the end of the day on 9/25 and I get an e-mail requesting me to review my experience. Really!? I sent the seller a request to cancel the order and refund my purchase price of $44.00. It'll be interesting to see what they say and how long to issue a refund.
