Enjoyable and at times enlightening - a useful guide to the way that numbers are used and misused in public discourse, particularly by media types and politicians. The sorts of things that any of us would realise about the many number-type facts and figures that are constantly bandied about (expenditures, averages, comparisons, cause-and-effects, etc) if we stopped to consider them, but usually don't...a lot of salutary reminders, the most important being implicit and underlying - namely, to think critically about exactly what any particular number or statistic means.
