Statistics: Concepts and Controversies

David S. Moore updates his best-selling liberal arts statistics text while maintaining the emphasis on applications to a wide range of fields, from public policy to the sciences. The streamlined Fourth Edition follows the time-proven data analysis approach that established this text as the leader in the field and introduces helpful pedagogical features and new illustrations. "...It will give nonmathematical readers critical insight into the uses and misuses of numbers and quantitative arguments that are increasingly being used in fields ranging from sociology to medicine to literary analysis." L'Enseignement Mathimatique "This book is a 'good read' too and gives useful background information to teachers and students on any beginning course on statistics at A level or college level."
