Scammed By Statistics: How we are Lied to, Cheated and Manipulated by Statistics...and why you should care - Softcover
We are continually bombarded by charts, graphs, and quotes from various studies with the goal of influencing our opinions, health, or buying habits, yet we seldom know if we are being manipulated, deceived, and lied to by those presenting the data. It is imperative that we know how to interpret statistics and are aware of the numerous techniques that are used to distort and misuse numbers. Scammed by Statistics uses countless real examples to illustrate the good and evil of numbers while providing the knowledge to properly interpret statistical data, ask the right questions, and avoid bad decision-making. Readers will never again be able to read the news, watch TV, or read a magazine without a degree of healthy skepticism.

About the Author:
Ed lives outside of Dubuque, Iowa, with his wife Sara. He has been involved in various areas of education since graduating from Oberlin College in 1974. Ed holds a Masters degree in gifted education from the University of Northern Iowa and has presented at state and national conferences in the areas of mathematics and gifted education.
Review:
Scammed by Statistics provides a case-by-case argument for the reading public's need to read graphs and charts as closely as it reads written texts. The book empowers readers by exposing how the manipulation of statistics can be not only deceitful, but also, in some cases, deadly. Any discipline that deals with statistical information will benefit from this book. As someone not schooled in statistics, I know that after reading Scammed by Statistics, I will be skeptical and analytical when I encounter data presented as undeniable fact. --Dennis Healy (High School English Teacher)
