First Edition. [x], 81 pp. Original wrappers. Very Good. 'By his publications and by his example, Youden contributed substantially to the achievement of objectivity in experimentation and to the establishment of more exact standards for drawing scientific conclusions. . . . Shortly before his death Youden completed the manuscript of another 'missionary' effort, Risk, Choice and Prediction (1974), formally intended to familiarize students in the seventh grade and above with basic statistical concepts but actually meant 'for anyone . . . who wants to learn in a relatively painless way how the concepts and techniques of statistics can help us better understand today's complex world' (p. vii)' (D.S.B. XIV: 554).
