"…so compelling that I read it in one sitting."
–Ann Cannon, Cornell College
"Salsburg covers a wide range of subtle issues in statistical modelling, made easily digestible through a delightful collection of historical stories. These show the true power of statistics: from determining the risks of heart attacks for the inhabitants of Framingham, to checking how many books were written by Davy Crockett."
–David Spiegelhalter, University of Cambridge
