Introducing Statistics: A Graphic Guide

The shaper of the world around us—statistics. Its use allows us to better understand the world around us.

With the help of Vorin Van Loon's engaging, at times comical illustrations, Eileen Magnello walks us through the history behind statistics as we know it today, from the ancient Babylonians to the first appearance of its modern usage in Europe.
