Reviews for How to Tell the Liars from the Statisticians

. . .Hooke writes in a charming, relaxed style that is well suited for his purpose. ---Journal of the American Statistical Association . . .What Hooke has done very deftly in his amusing book is to focus our attention on the problem of statistical education for the ordinary citizen. For this, we own him thanks. ---The American Mathematical Monthly . . .Each essay has one thought-provoking idea, and the overall effect is to convey a splendid qualitative understanding of the important ideas of statistics. ---Mathematics Magazine
