M. J. Moroney's celebrated introduction to statistics presents the art and science of numerical reasoning to the general reader, dismantling the intimidating machinery of data analysis and reassembling it in clear, accessible, and often wryly entertaining prose. From the basics of averages and probability to the subtleties of sampling, correlation, and significance testing, the book instructs readers in how to draw sound, honest conclusions from raw data — and, crucially, how to spot when figures are being used to deceive.\n\nFirst published as a Pelican Original and reprinted numerous times throughout the mid-twentieth century, Facts From Figures became a landmark work in the popularisation of statistical thinking, earning a devoted readership among students, scientists, and curious laypeople alike. Moroney writes with the authority of a seasoned statistician and the wit of a natural teacher, making even the most abstract concepts feel grounded and purposeful. In an age awash with data and misinformation, his core argument — that statistical literacy is not a luxury but a civic necessity — resonates more urgently than ever. Will you be the one who reads the figures, or the one who is misled by them?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216200343771,"sku":"2026200014478-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5431736c-7908-46aa-8929-796d664b0834.png?v=1788405193","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014478-secondhand-facts-from-figures","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
