A colorful abacus

Counting: How We Use Numbers to Decide What Matters

by Deborah Stone Author

When technology becomes entirely ubiquitous it becomes invisible, and so it is with counting and numbers. We all know what damned lies statistics can be, but Counting: How We Use Numbers to Decide What Matters goes deep, roping in Dr. Seuss and the Cookie Monster to show that numbers can't be all objective. Every number tells a tale loaded with cultural vibes, social norms, and personal judgments. This is the book that'll mess with how you see numbers forever.
