Reviews

"Clearly written, with a checklist at the end of each chapter, invaluable for students. It should be required reading for journalists and politicians." (Economist) "Miller presents a holistic and accessible approach to understanding the issues in communicating [numeric] information by focusing on the entire writing process. Besides providing foundation principles for writing about numbers and exploring tools for displaying figures, the book combines statistical literacy with good writing.... Highly recommended." (Choice)
